That's certainly true. however there is a clear tendency: the most
experimental and old stuff can be found in 6bone, and the most mature
and native networks have 2001 space.

Well, you know that this is happening between LIRs. It's outside the
scope of 6bone, though. Independant of other problems, 6bone should
see to minimise its share of negative impact.

This is just not true. "University" is not the only possibly entity to
