With the exception of the ARIN website itself, I have not seen "much
more" transient reachability problems on IPv6.  I have seen IPv6 enabled
on commercial websites without any problems.  I'm not saying
it's perfect but it's alot better than "NO NO NO".

As for transition mechanisms, sites will find that having their own
local 6to4 and teredo relays will help alot.
