What works with a stack in my house is not what necessarily what works everywhere else. One of the keys to success is good testing. So I would prefer to have native IPv6 and access to a few different environments to test it in before getting serious.

Anybody else who has written a TCP/IP stack recently can debate with me about how difficult or easy the task is. ;-0
