[ipv6-wg] Have we failed as IPv6 Working Group?

Hmm, I would rephrase that to: 

"If folks are serious about IPv6 and are willing to
 set a real incentive for this community to have a 
 reality check and test their own infrastructure in 
 a safe environment with losts of experts around..."

Nobody wants to kill Dualstack right now. There will always
be a legacy network as backup, like on every other RIPE meeting.

But you won't see most of the common misconfigurations in a 
Dualstack Environment and it's time to move out of your 
comfort zone now.

Manually switching from default SSID to some legacy fallback 
should not be a problem for those people with intentionally 
old infrastructure. People who still run Windows 95 in 2019
will clearly have the expertise to klick on a button, right?

Bold move, but yes - why not?

By now, everybody with fairly recent infrastructure should have at least 
Dualstack on their mailservers, so this shouldn't impose any problem, 
right?

Nice idea. You would have my support for this.
