"When asked why DistroWatch enabled IPv6 access to their server at this 
time, Smith answered: "Partly it was an experiment to see how much 
interest there was in IPv6. Partly it was because it is a little 
embarrassing (in 2016) to have a technology focused website that is not 
making use of IPv6." "

Slashdot, Github etc, still no IPv6 though.

I talked to LWN.net (who does have IPv6) about if they could write an 
article about IPv6. I offered to contribute text. We'll see how that goes.

Linux Foundation seems to have some IPv6 related presentations etc. 
Perhaps it's time to re-do this and say "now we're not only talking about 
IPv6, it's actually happening and there are hundreds of millions of 
devices out there now with IPv6 access". I think a lot of people haven't 
heard of this. They've heard of IPv6 but as you say, they still think it's 
in the future. It would be helpful if they would get an update that this 
is happening NOW, and everything is ready to go.
