But s0.nanog.org does, and mailman.nanog.org is v4 exclusively and one =
of my
MX still has legacy IP as well.  But the message wasn't for Igor anyway.

I was just mumbling about the fact that the IPv6 advocacy activists and =
people
in charge of v6 rollouts should eat more of their dog-food to make sure =
that
we'll actually be ready for _more_ IPv6 only users rather than falling =
into the
same tarpit we hit for DS in the near future.  The web strangely is the =
least
thing I care about.

/bz

PS: I hope all of the big guys will actually have AAAA glue records for =
their=20
domains in DNS for world IPv6 day.  So far most of them are failing that =
test
badly which means the brokeness of IPv6 starts at the very beginning:(
