Hi all,
I see plain IPv6 without any kind of IPv4 support including protocol translation as very nice idea there. People could see how much (or how few if I would like to be accurate and/or sarcastic) of public and their own private services like their SSH, POP3, SMTP or IM accounts could be reached by IPv6. It could be also a motivation for a lot of people to make more services v6 available *before* the meeting. I see a lot of v6 enabled networks but only a small amount of v6 enabled services.
This is a good point, but I find myself with a competing requirement. One of the parts of my company's IPv4 depletion strategy is to make a service where a new customer can connect with IPv6 only, but still access the whole internet in some way, including the IPv4 part. I think that this is one of the most important and least developed parts of the technology, and we have few enough opportunities to see it tested.
