[6bone] report of 6bone planning BOF

[Todd T. Fries]

If everyone reacted the way I did when I first heard, the end of the 6bone
could be the most benificial thing to promote IPv6 that has happened yet.

Initially, I grumbled about my ISP and its upstream not providing IPv6
natively, and I've been asking for two years.

I placed a phone call to my isp to update some contact info, and asked a few
questions one of which was about IPv6, and the next thing I know they are
using me as a consultant and planning on beginning IPv6 enabling with a
machine upgrade I'll be assisting with.

One more isp in the US heading towards v6, and the draft wasn't even out yet ;-)
