I totally sympathize with the "please don't bash us in public"
sentiment, but "holler on NANOG" does not scale.  If the intent is to
be selling IPv6 to the great unwashed masses (a laudable goal if you
want to continue to grow post-v4-runout), it's got to be no more
difficult than getting IPv4.  Needs to be productized in such a way
that the default case is that you get both, and if you don't turn on
the v6, well, shame on you.
