I remember the days of Ron Natalie running around with a cherry picker
in San Jose, and the whole point of the network being to test
interoperability, so that things would and did break (and then we fixed
them). If v6 is even close to ready, wouldn't it be sad that this sort
of testing isn't done at interop? Or is it just sad that v6 isn't so
close to being ready? Or is it both?
