We actualy went through a global renumbering session on the 6bone once,
when we moved from 5F RFC1897 addresses to the new aggregated 3FFE ones.

Transiting my site was not that big a deal. The main issue was to convince
people running 6bone leaf sites to do the job.
The overall process took more than 3 months at the time.

In the RIPE draft paper about IPv6 address allocation, they specify
that you will have 3 months to renumber.

example taken from this draft:
	when an ISP is moving from a sub-TLA to a TLA
