Agreed.  The statement from ARIN is recent and impacts us all.  We've
got our core v6 routing in place, but operationally, that's really the
easy part.  Modifying the tools such as billing, monitoring, management,
tracking, and auditting are the slow link in the chain.  The space is
dwindling but that doesn't seem to be putting the transition pressure on
if the services aren't there to use v6.  Until more transit providers
support it, the reasoning for smaller provider to transition is limited.

Given the ARIN statement, I think it's time for more discussion of v6
migration, transition, and operations issues.  No, I'm not volunteering;
I'm not running a v6 network.  I suspect that Martin is right -- the
program committee should be proactive on this topic and seek out
presenters.
