US Federal Government was supposed to be Dual-Stacked years ago and in fact should be running IPv6-Only already and already planned for replacement of anything they couldn't convert to IPv6-Only.

So if you get brought before congress you can ask them why they had issues getting to your IPv6-Only service from their IPv6-Only network.

It might have been caused by Cogent and Hurricane Electric, without finger pointing.

There were IPv6 Day and IPv6 Launch Day in 2011 and 2012. Why not some
major players agree to switch ipv4 off for a day?
Sure, it would be a mess, but wouldn't it be a useful one?
