Right now, about 0.325% of our users we detect as being IPv6 capable,
58% of which have 6to4.  Those 6to4 users have, at varying times,
experienced an /average/ of 50-150msec extra latency.

This is why we have the whitelisting stuff.

As Lorenzo has said, in response to the claim "There's nothing wrong
with perfectly working 6to4!":  "Yeah, but there's nothing right about
it either."
