Lack of IPv6 support in some LB products has nothing to do with orthodox beliefs in purity of NAT-less IPv6 world and all to do with the vendors' decisions to cut hardware costs by supporting only 32-bit addresses in their hardware implementation (if you have a software-only LB that still doesn't support IPv6 today, please let me know ;). And of course some of us were stupid enough (or trusting the vendor, which is the same thing) not to check whether the appliance we bought a few years ago will ever support IPv6.
