I wouldn't want this sort of setup so people actually use it to get
things done, but to test what already works and what not while hanging
out with other people who know about this.

The IPv6-only SSID should really be experimental, and if it helps, we
should take care of it ourselves rather than leave it to the NOC.

And it is also entirely their call what sort of resources and support
they can give us without putting the conference network in general
unnecessarily at risk.

Since you are the one in permanent contact with them: Please see what
can be done without causing them any serious worries.  The last thing I
want to see is that the NOC crowd gets pissed off by things
unnecessarily going wrong.  We'll need them in the long run, too...


Cheers,
