It seems that any IPv6 efforts by organisations are best effort at most wi=
th of course some notable exceptions who seem to offer a really very good =
service (HE for example). It's starting to get to a point now, I think, th=
at some end users have IPv6 (Andrews and Arnold have offered IPv6 for year=
s) and issues such as these are just going to start to give IPv6 a bad nam=
e in the eyes of consumers.
It'd really suck for end users to start actively avoiding IPv6 connectivit=
y because it keeps breaking and for organisations that have active AAAA re=
cords to break peoples connectivity to their resources.
