[ipv6-wg] Interest in IPv6-only world?

FYI, there is a wiki being used to track how things behave in the
IPv6-only (and the NAT64) world; specifically focused on the case of
hosts without *any* IPv4 at all.

you're welcome to browse, and contribute. :-)   Contribution does
require a (moderated) login; but it's open to anyone who doesn't act
like a spambot.
