This is actually more of an issue than you might think... many users *already* have broken IPv6 connectivity[0], and it's only going to get worse with early adopters, since most (IPv4) users won't notice the problem. That might not be too bad, except most users tend not to report problems, and just assume the site is broken. Of course, in a couple of years when more sites support IPv6, broken connectivity will be much more obvious, and users will just complain to their ISP. - river.

One of the users who was unable to access the site, and couldn't work out why, was another Wikimedia sysadmin. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
