The response said they're working on changing the regulations to allow businesses to only label in metric if they prefer (today, mostly they can choose between either traditional-only, or dual-labeling, aside from things like pharmaceutical dosages and nutritional content labeling, which are already metric-only (dosages are in milligrams, liquid dosages are often dual fluid ounces and cubic centimeters, nutrition is grams of fat/protein/carbs, milligrams of salt, etc.)).
I remember in the 1970s, when highway signs were getting converted to show both miles and kilometers; I think that got stopped because of the costs (the signs have to be bigger, they may confuse people, etc.).
