Ok, removed my infamatory reply. But tell me how 0.05% is visible in the up/down motions of traffic as it starts 
raining, there is something especially good/bad on TV, people have to reboot because of a Windows update or whatever.

Earlier today I tracerouted the top 1000 websites as per Alexa. I couldn't resolve the DNS for 6 of them. The internet 
is never 100% up.

I asked the ISOC press people about this after they sent me their press release but they never replied (they may have 
replied to my message but not with an answer to the question). There is nothing on the ISOC site that mentions anything 
happening after june 8.

Of course I'm assuming individual participants will do stuff, but that doesn't change that this IPv6 day as it stands 
now is a one-off event, not the first step towards the Ultimate Goal.
