What *is* standard about them?  My earliest training as a sysadmin taught

strange errors; nobody else will have seen the same bugs.

That's exactly what's happening here -- people are setting up IPv6 tunnel
broker connections, then complaining that there are unexpected side
effects.

In that case, let's shutdown the entire Internet and be done with it.

If any network operator here is running their entire network in a
"standard" way as described by Damian, then they are doing something wrong.
