I mentioned this on another list, but if anybody has tried to actually
turn the words referred to above into service, I would be very happy
to hear about how they did it.

The last time I attempted to buy 7018 transit I specified that I
needed v6, and the answer was "yes, we can do that". But when it came
to placing an order, the reaction swiftly changed to "oh, no, actually
we can't".
There seems to be a certain trend towards claiming IPv6 capability in
order to win business, hoping that people are just looking for the
check in the box and not actual exchange of packets.
