The metric system has been legal in the US since 1895 when the US agreed
to "adopt" it in exchange for France agreeing to Greenwich, England, for
the Prime Meridian.

Whether one regards IPv6 as "ready for prime-time" depends upon  
location.  IPv6 appears to represent a metric measurement in the only  
industrially developed nation, despite a 1975 act of Congress, still  
is using fahrenheit, ounce, pound, inch, feet, and mile.  There will  
always be problems offering an excuse not to adopt change, even when  
the rest of world has.  Oddly, a 2x4 is neither, but might be  
required to promote change.
