No, it is not a local decision. That is the problem. When I choose to
serarate them, I can. But my packets travel via several AS-es over
production links until somewhere, far away, it's routed over an
experimental service and gets blackholed. I have a problem when
the policy in that place far away is: well, we are just experimenting
with IPv6. This can only be solved when we all agree on a minimal
quality.

I think we have a very big problem. Some people say: current IPv6
transport is bad. Other people say: there is no problem.
