Yes. The signal is "ignore mandatory IPv6 requirements - they will get
dropped to optional anyway" - which is the partyline I hear from
multiple vendors about IPv6 requirements in RFPs. They are very relaxed
about those, and it shows unfortunately.

Mandatory as in "we'll buy 100% more expensive equipment when noone else
delivers that"? Or "we'll buy nothing if nobody delivers that"?

Best regards,
