A tunnel offers those who do not have native IPv6 from their ISP the opportunity
to experiment with new technology. Like we did in the early days of Fidonet when
the pioneer spirit was still dominant.

What happened to that pioneer spirit? In the early days of Fidonet did you ever
ask "do I really need this"? Or did you just go ahead and tried out new
technology?
DC> I know.... eventually.... yeah. But until then, assuming that ever

It will happen and it will be in the foreseeable future. Simple math will tell
you that there is not enough IPv4 to cover the needs of an expanding internet.
With a bit of luck you and I will live to see it.
Cheers, Michiel
