+1 here folks. I have to agree with Shane's sentiments here. The "fix"
for any problems is so trivial I really don't think transitioning the
IPV6 only SSID from experimental to fully published, part of the
standard meeting literature and on site advertisements is a problem.

Fair play to Marco and co for wanting to ensure absolute perfection (in
as near as can be) with regards to the meeting network(s) but suffice to
say, I trust the RIPE ops folks implicitly to run a good set of networks
for all of us. I also trust them to be able to help any users with
problems (on either network).

See you all in Romania anyway.
