Re: I think bollocks...
Whilst I see your logic in terms of finding people with largescale experience of IPv6 deployment, I suspect their expertise wrt IPv6 security is also limited. I suspect they have used exactly the same IPv6 product sets as we've been using - namely Cisco et al, complete with their limited security. As if they had delved deeper, we would surely be seeing upgraded firewalls, routers, detection systems etc. from Japanese companies.
That is a valid argument, but I would see hiring people who already have in depth experience as a route to get at least the configuration and setup errors out of the way so we can concentrate more immediately on security instead of being chased by problems that result from inexperience in setup.
But in short I think we still have quite a learning curve ahead of us.
