I'm still working on the experiment results write-up but off top of my
head I can tell you that:
1) people told me they are coming back to their IT departments asking
them to fix their VPNs. As there are other places out there providing
Ipv6-only as a 'primary/default' wifi (AFAIR FOSDEM is doing this, for
example, not mentioning some companies deploying v6-only networks) I
think it's quite useful for those people to be prepared.
2) bug reports for the broken applications were filled
3) we finally have some numbers on 'what % of people can not get their
work done if their devices do not have v4 addresses' - before it was
just
'some saying that it would never work while others saying it works just fine'.
4) we observed that the situation has improved even since IETF99 so we
are moving in right direction.
5) as a result of the experiment some changes have been applied to the
IETF network to improve it and bugs opened with vendors.
6) we are having this discussion in 6man about host requirements.

on Friday afternoon I discovered that I had turned off Ipv4 on my
laptop on Tue morning and left it like that...Noticed it only because
got connected
to Ipv4-only network ;)))

Stay tuned, I'm getting the numbers together, will get it done this week.
