Thanks!  This is helpful info.

I am pretty shocked that more mirrors in the USA are not IPv6 enabled,
especially given that so many are at USA universities, which in theory
should have easy access to IPv6 via Internet2, and likely their
primary ISP as well.

It seems like these "non revenue generating"  "for the public good"
mirroring services would be prime candidates for those various hosting
organizations to get their feet wet with IPv6 and start generating
some traffic.

Anyone have clue on how best to improve this situation with the
existing mirrors?
