Why should IPv6 be mandatory?
Is is not yet, but
it will be in future.

and isn't it my business what I run on my network?
Yes. But if you want to
connect your network to the world, you will
make the experience that IPv4 addresses are a rare resource. You can do
things like NAT, but the time will come when the IPv4 addres space is
exhausted.
And why shouldn't one expect NFS support from
2.2BSD?
Because he is newbie and expects from every *ix to speak NFS?
