Hi,
I am trying to make a case (to old fuddy-duddies, which is why I even
need to actually make a case) for IPv6 for my own selfish reasons.  :-)
I wonder if anyone has any references to interesting/useful/otherwise
resources on are only available to IPv6 users that they can forward to
me.


This type of marketing approach was pursued doggedly for many of the early
years of IPv6 rollout. It was as misguided then as it was ineffective.

If you have plenty of IPv4 space, you have no case for IPv6. (And I say
that as one of the most enthusiastic proponents of it.) OTOH, if you
are/might/will be approach(ing) any kind of IPv4 capacity limitation, then
you want to start deploying IPv6 ASAP.

The other case that makes business sense is a content provider with a lot
of traffic. You can get different, and often better, peering relationships
over IPv6; and there are a lot of eyeball networks, especially mobile
providers, who are using it natively nowadays.

hope this helps,

Doug


The most valuable/useful network resource available today using IPv6 is a
mobile network customer. (Not necessarily IPV6 only, but IPv4 requires
extra effort.)
