        good point.  there are "levels" of basic services.
        i suspect that the network operations folks would want
        to have working viable v6 (naming, timestamps, audit,
        measurement) running -before- turning up production
        "basic" service for the "user experience".

        assuming that is the case, what things to these assembled
        operators think are critical for operational stability
        in bringing online a new address family?

        Randy had a non-exaustive list at the last IEPG.  To memory:
                MIB, AAAA, DNS, NTP, SYSLOG, DHCP, RADIUS,
                CALEA, etc.
