Another very sad thing about it:

I don't seem to be able to get to the site on IPv6.

I heard that it initially had AAAA records. After the site couldn't keep up with the initial load, it was migrated to Akamai's CDN (the DNS records you see now are those), and Akamai doesn't yet offer IPv6 in production, so no IPv6.
there are places in this world with working v6 at scale.... the folk involved COULD use them. (I thought, actually, that akamai's v6 offering was actually production, just not wide-spread?)
In fairness, it is up on IPv6 today. I don't know exactly when that happened, but, kudos to ISOC and Akamai for getting it done fairly quickly.
Akamai does have a trial IPv6 program though - we host IPv6 capable Akamai nodes on our campus for example, and a non production version of our university website is using it - so ISOC could try seeing if they could be hosted on that infrastructure.
My question is when is FiOS going to get v6 natively? could we get the engineers there to actually do something as opposed to trials of non-production systems that'll never actually get deployed? :)
My understanding is that some areas have native IPv6 on FIOS. Owen
