Perhaps we need to start draft-v6ops-ipv6-dinosaurs and start to name and shame such organisations and what they’re doing wrong… polite but objective critique and pointers in the doc to best practice.

Turns out that I can have IPv6 but only dynamic and only if I am on dynamic IPv4. I cannot get IPv6 for my service with static IPv4 addresses.
