I'm not pointing fingers or anything:  just noting that in the 12 years 
that I've been poking around with ipv6, we don't yet have functional 
auto-configuration - which I note in passing was one of the supposed 
selling points of ipv6 in the first place.

I'm still firmly of the opinion that this problem would have been solved 
years ago if the connectivity at ietf meetings was ipv6 only.
