I think this guy may be a technical project manager. Maybe not. But either way, we need good stories from people who are making progress with dual stack migrations 'at the edge'.

  • Even if the network admins were to have the tunnel up by next week, I wouldn't expect to see even basic functionality before mid-summer, and if limited testing all went well to just put a AAAA record in parallel by the end of 2008. It takes a while, but it can be done.

    When /. does have a working IPv6 code base, they can put pressure on their upstream provider to get native v6 connectivity, because a tunnel isn't going to hold up for too long.

    All website upgrades are going to follow a path like what I've just described. The networking takes almost no effort, but the coding of website functionality will require some work, work that can be rolled into ongoing website maintenance.
