I'm not complaining, but I would point out that if these free brokers are the public face of IPv6 for many hobbyists

affect my opinion of IPv6, my willingness to spend time implementing it, pestering my upstream about it, or having 
my business give a damn about it.  Yes I know they're volunteers, but how much does that matter?

So you would prefer that they shut down their service rather than provide current level of support?

I've had very prompt and good replies from SixXS when I've contacted them.

Equally students I know who use HE brokers are very happy with their service, e.g. HE have added features in response 
to feedback.
