Thanks for the positive feedback.  (Actually, it was quite a novel
experience to see your own words being typed in real-time on the
transcript monitors... and yes, it did quite confuse me :) ).

I thought I said something along the line of "it's a preparedness thing,
for the time IPv4 runs out" - but maybe that wasn't clear enough.
