Well, with all due respect, of *course* there isn't any 'killer site'
that is v6 only yet: the only motivation to do so at the moment, given
the proportion of v4 to v6 end-users, is *specifically* to drive v4 to
v6 conversion at the end-user level.
So we're only likely to see that in exactly a case like the government
mandated conversion--mean to say it will likely be some government
internal b-to-b'ish site that crops up first as v6 only, and then the
usual S-curve of conversions amongst other government sites, slowly
dribbling over into b-to-c'ish stuff... which will be what pulls the
rest of us along.
