This is the way it's supposed to be already. The 6bone should *not* be
used for production. The problem is that people actually use it for
production.

Problem is, the infrastructure does not exist yet for this. To some
extent, if the tunneling system did not exist there will be no IPv6
production because there will be too many isolated IPv6 islands.

Simple. Build it.
