I think I need to clarify: I'm *NOT* suggesting making v6-only network
a default one, deprecate dual-stack SSID or anything like that.
I propose just to change the way we are calling it and get official

OK, so you agree with all my suggestions except for changing the password? Well,
I think we can reach a consensus then ;)

Absolutely.
