 Is the IETF afraid to eat it's own food?
 Or is it willing to do what's necessary (in the interim) to adjust to
 the new cuisine?

Our networking team at Microsoft did run an "IPv6 only" trial during
the development of Windows Vista. Volunteers only. The volunteers would
disable the IPv4 stacks on their PC, and then attempt to go on with their
normal work, both for internal applications such as corporate mail, file
servers, or intranet servers, and for external applications, mostly web
based. It worked, but it had to rely on a set of transport proxies for those
internal applications that were not yet IPv6 ready, and of course web proxies
for internal access.

(keeping with my food-based theme)

Learning from others' taste testing is good. But it's better to taste it "your=IETF"self. ;)

As someone else said - I bet these were willing volunteers.
