=> the last point is really a shame: when I worked on IPv6 in BSDs,
AQMs had IPv6 support (it was (and still is) pretty easy to add IPv6
support to a packet classifier), and it was more than 10 years ago!

=> a /64 is better than a /128 or nothing. But as I have a /64 at
home I agree it is not enough for R&D.

=> wide-dhcp PD? I was in its team (so with Tomasz and dibbler we have
most of the DHCPv6 at ISC today :-)

=> 6rd is a good thing when the ISP provides all the CPEs. And Free
IPv6 service is not bad: I have two ISPs at home, Free and Numericable,
and I can see the difference. Now I prefer native IPv6 but even in France
it is very marginal.

=> we'll see this evening who will bring and manage the CPEs for
the demo. I have no problem with this unless someone believes it
will be me.

=> it is hard to develop and chat at the same time. Anyway with the
timezone difference IMHO tight interactive work can be only an
exception.

=> skype is forbidden in France by the ANSSI (the equivalent of the NSA
but far smaller). And I can call anyone in the USA for free with
the phone handset connected to my ADSL box, so no need for skype.
