We don't have budget for build anoter 6bone router.
We want start a pre-production network, all new routers will be for
pre-production network.

Yes, our new policy sucks but i don't have better solution.

I know that my email to this peers wasn't diplomatic.

You provide to an user a BGP4+ peering, after you can't keep the tunnel
for technical reasons (routers full), do you will like that this user
troll about you on public mailing-list ?

One of users who have received my email, contact me (no on public
mailing-list), for get many informations about this problem.
He reply to me "I understand your problem, good luck for your IPv6
network.". If we have free bgp session on our routers later, i will
recontact him.
It's a normal reply. Christian, don't contact me but troll on public
mailing-listing about me, it's not a normal reply, it's a revenge.
