[AusNOG] IPv4 Exhaustion date changed to December.

[Andrew Cox]

I don't think Karl is running an ISP to the best of my knowledge.

I am, but in a different way to the majority of ISP's on here, which 
means I'm still awaiting my upstreams to make their IPv6 services 
production* before I can do so with mine.

Any adoption is good adoption at this point in time, tunnels or no tunnels.
If vendors are going to take this long to upgrade their devices to 
properly support IPv6 then a tunnelled client is still a great way to 
get to the IPv6 internet.

*IMHO production would be: Supported on helpdesk with guaranteed uptimes 
and no longer referred to as a "beta service subject to change".
