current users of 6to4 can have fair warning before the relays go
dark and forthcoming hardware/software upgrades rip the feature
out from under them.

I would hope that big companies like Apple would actually do an impact
analysis before removing a feature.


Like how Apple does not support Flash in iOS?

Just one example where a visionary drops an inferior solution to force a
better one.

This is also known as cracking some eggs to make an omelet.

Big content providers can measure how much 6to4 is enabled, so they can
probably say something about trends. But that doesn't say much about how
many
users actually care about 6to4. Vendors seem to be best equiped to analyse
the users' need for 6to4.

I don't think relay operators have expressed a desire for a specific cut
off
date. So I guess they just figure out for themselves when to switch off
the
relays.
