One thing that IPv6 people generally don't get: if you give people  
the choice between doing something and doing nothing, and doing  
nothing doesn't have _significantly_ worse results, 99% of all people  
will do nothing.

Why should I spend time updating my configurations to get rid of my  
3ffe:2500:310::/48 block? Unlike ip6.int it doesn't get in anyone's  
way, so all of this is a big waste of time for everyone involved.

But if you're really looking for something to do: why don't you set  
up your stuff such that it prefers non-6bone space over 6bone?
