It won't promote *6bone* usage, and we don't *want* to promote 6bone.

6bone is dead, face it.  A number of the bigger european NRENs do not even
route 3FFE space anymore.

Nothing in CTN1's setup fulfill's proper technical standards for an
IPv6 pTLA holder.

Just take upstream space then.  CTN1 could use some from NDSOFTWARE,
for example.

(Just to drive home the point: 6bone space will *not* provide quality
IPv6 services, as *people do not route it*)
