I think the technology is mature enough to be provided as a regular RIPE NCC service during the meeting - that means regular network name and, most important, a password that is propagated in the same way the normal Wi-Fi network password is. This is especially important for the one third of newcomers that have had a big troubles learning the password of the IPV6ONLYEXP network.
After RIPE 70, I proposed a "drastic" approach [1], renaming the dual-stack meeting network to -legacy and promote the NAT64 network as the default. This is the same way they do it on FOSDEM since 2014 [2]. But maybe we could try a slow start first, keeping the dual-stacked network the default and offering the NAT64 network with some suffix like -v6only.
I'm with you that we should no longer market the IPv6-only as "this is an experiment, it will not work, and is unreliable anyway, so use on your own risk!" network. This is what Internet looks like on more and more mobile networks already today - time to get used to it.
OTOH, I'm not sure whether it should be default - can Android cope with IPv6-only networks today?
All new versions (5.x AFAIR) work well, I think I demonstrated it on the last meeting ;)
If yes, then go for it :-) - if not, maybe not this year...
Marco, Nick - what do you think? I definitely see a lot of interest and support in the community for moving IPv6-only network out of the experimental state. Probably moving dual-stack network to legacy this meeting might be bit extreme (we do care about people who do not care about Ipv6 yet, don't we? ;)) and we do not provide bad network experience), but what about stop calling it "experimental" and include it in the list of the standard SSIDs? -- SY, Jen Linkova aka Furry
