Can't tech news sites *please* run dual stack while they're spouting end-of-IPv4 stories?
<wishful thinking=on> I would love to see a few more properties do IPv6 by default, such as ARS, Twitter and a few others. After posting some links and being a log stalker last night the first 3 hits from non-bots were from users on IPv6 enabled networks. It does ring a bit hollow that these sites haven't gotten there when others (Google, Facebook) have already shown you can publish AAAA records with no adverse public impact. Making IPv6 available by default for users would be an excellent step. People like AT&T who control the 'attwifi' ssid could do NAT66 at their sites and provide similar service to the masses. With chains like Hilton, McDonalds, etc.. all having this available, it would push IPv6 very far almost immediately with no adverse impact compared to users IPv4 experience. - Jared
