Short sightedness in management, a common affliction, for which a pair of specs
doesn't fix. ;)  My ISP is definitely in the long term strategic camp, having
been offering production dual stack IPv4/IPv6 for over 5 years and ran public
opt-in trials for around 2 years (possibly longer) before that.  As you'd
expect, their IPv6 service has been rock solid, since they did their homework.

Other than adding a "Listen :::80" in httpd.conf and making sure I had my AAAA
records sorted, I don't recall having to do anything else.  :)  I recently
moved one of my older websites to a server that I control, and it's now happily
running on both IPv4 and IPv6 (my VPS host also offers IPv6).
