Brian,

Gentle nudge?
I think Randy and Jen's experiment shows that we are nearly there.
On my iphone, where Apple enforced IPv6 support to be allowed to play, I only found _one_ single application that didn't work.
Even on my laptop, I had to look quite hard before finding something that broke.
We're nearly there!

Cheers,
Ole
