That *might* be useful, but it's unclear to me why having a "day" for this is helpful; the purpose of IPv6 day #1 and #2 was to coordinate the enabling for people who *didn't* opt in, so that any impact would have an obvious cause. If an individual wants to do this, they can do it at any time and see the effects.

Full ACK.
I also see the relevance of world launch events, but I strongly doubt that world IPv4 stop would have any impact (other than us IT guys being seen as looking for an excuse for a day off).
Say I have an hybrid car. What is the relevance of deciding, on a given day, not to use the fuel engine? (or to go through the trouble of pumping the fuel out of the car).
