Yep, but that's definitively step #2.  There's content included from ad
networks and such that are not dual-stack capable and not everything
loaded from our rig is dual-stack capable at the moment either.

For now we want to just try out dual-stacking the main hostnames and see
if we can do so safely.  If the verdict after the test day is that the
broken users problem isn't really a big concern, hopefully we'll put
dual-stack in production permanently and add the missing pieces so that
we'll in the end be able to cater to IPv6-only end users.  But first
things first.  :-)

And so far, so good.  We've yet to receive any real complains of
connectivity loss.  My contact in VG just called the whole test day an
anti-climax...
