I certainly don't. If Google just switched on IPv6, the ISP customers
that have trouble won't call Google, they'll call their ISP. Google's
whitelisting is purely about helping ISPs - giving them and their
customers an opt-in ability to test IPv6 without triggering a number of
calls to their helpdesk for those customers who don't want to
participate. It is of course regrettable that there has to be
conditional providing of an IPv6 service, however as a transitional
step it is fine. It is nothing more than the principle of least
surprise for ISPs and both their IPv6 interested and
non-interested customers.

As for whether that sort of thing happened on IPv6 day, it did at least
once. As that customer chose to go through a public discussion
forum rather than ring the ISP's helpdesk, we won't know how many
customers had the similar issue and contacted the ISP's helpdesk.
