At IETF meetings over the past few years, I have seen various SSIDs that 
indicate v6-only and v6-with-some-protocol, so I think we already do 
that.

At IETF meetings over the past few years, I have not seen reports to the 
IETF community about these networks.

Franck: Organizing such feedback mechanisms would be *very* helpful to 
those of us who might support more emphasis on those technologies in the 
nearer future. I wouldn't be so resistant to using such a network if I 
knew what to look for.

Others: if you want to see this experiment succeed, maybe gamify it a 
bit and offer small prizes at the Bits-and-Bytes for the most successful 
experience on these nets and the most humo(u)rous failures found.
