I think this is some way off - a lot on infrastructural services (such as
DNS) will continue to run on v4 for some time.  That doesn't mean we
shouldn't do what we can to migrate our _own_ services, but the prospect of
a v6-only stack is probably some time off.  In the mean time, running both
v4 & v6 internally and externally is a very good start.

Thanks for the IPv6 work, admin team!


Absolutely!  Bring on the future!
