Since the topic of IPv6 transition seems to have surfaced in this discussion, I thought I'd send a pointer to my argument as to why a lot of the common assumptions about IPv6 transitions are dubious. I put these things in a web page to avoid needing to re-type the same arguments over and over, and because I think I express things more effectively in this form than when trying to finish an email message on a difficult topic before going to X (where X is one of {work,lunch,dinner,bed}). One downside is that the web page isn't directly tailored to a specific list discussion - so some of the assumptions listed on the web page are apropos to the recent discussion on this list while others are not. http://www.cs.utk.edu/~moore/opinions/ipv6/dubious-assumptions.html Responses should go to my private email address if you want me to see them - I've disabled my subscription to the ietf list and am currently only scanning the archives once every few days. (In general, it's a bad idea to assume that you know whether someone will receive a reply sent to the entire list.)
