+1, i have read the draft and i believe it is something we need to
work on.  More and more ipv6-only networks are popping up (TMO USA for
mobile, TerraStream at DT for fixed line, Red Pill in data center,
CERNET2 in backbone ...), and i believe Tore has outlined a sensible
path for achieving this in a data centers ...what's more... it is a
running code... errr.. network.

I urge the chairs for sunset4 and v6ops to make a call on which WG
should own it and then take on the task of stewarding it into a WG
document.  This draft is clearly about running an IPv6 network (so
v6ops), but the main feature is shutting off ipv4 (so sunset4)
