They don't have to yet. Really, IPv6 is not going to be an issue this year at all. That ends up just being a patch Apple can come up with later. I don't see the big deal here.
Right. The Apple developers have been working very hard on 10.7, and it's kind of sad to see a story focusing on some vague subject (which, as you say, can be applied as a patch anytime later when it becomes more relevant) that is lacking. In my opinion, it's better to offer constructive criticism on the new stuff that they've been working on for this release.
