So how about getting people to work together to document workarounds
on a wiki run by the IETF?  The point is if we want IPv6 to be
successful we have bootstrap it by eliminating excuses.  VPN access is
merely the latest excuse, and it won't be the last one, either.  :-)

The point here is to have an engineering approach to fixing problems,
by whatever means necessary.  Even if the initial solutions are
accomplished with bailing wire and duct tape, that's OK.  They can
always be fixed up later.
