Re: World IPv6 Day and Us

Parts of the challenge here is that turning on IPv6 (publishing a AAAA) can 
also cause brokenness for users that have no IPv6 connectivity, e.g., those 
relying on broken 6to4 relays.  This has been documented all over the place, 
for example here:
<http://ripe61.ripe.net/presentations/162-ripe61.pdf>

So even if there are very few IPv6 eyeballs, this event can serve to flush out 
that flavor of brokenness.  As I understand it, part of the idea of everyone 
moving together is to get people to see the brokenness across multiple sites, 
thus to blame the network not the content provider, thus to pressure the 
networks to fix things.

notable exception of two large US cable ISPs - great, guys!)

Turning on IPv6 on the content provider side is great and all, but without 
the eyeballs on IPv6, I wonder a bit about the point of this exercise.
