At least the use of DS-Lite ISP connections makes it a little more apparent to the customers that IPv4 has some disadvantages over IPv6 nowadays. But I guess the vast majority of 'consumers' who only use simple web browsing, email and media streaming services won't notice it anyway. So in theory, the transition for those consumers can continue as long as the services that most people use are reachable via IPv6.

No, that's my full time job (and I get payed - lucky me *g*). And although I'm in the IT department of the library, there are other departments 'above' us who run the city-wide IT.

Well, you're right (and yes, I know that even via 'real' Token Ring, you can use IPv6 *g*). My point was more in the direction of the mentality of German bureaucracy. Changes here take ages. We are still stuck to Microsoft (Windows, Office, AD... all the nice things that malware loves) and until this year we're still using Lotus Notes (Exchange/Outlook will follow ... *shiver*).
And I'm trying to update things. We've moved out library management system to Linux servers some years ago (and now it's running much more stable and reliable than before) and are updating hardware as good as we can. But as said before, we're not on the top of the hierarchy in the municipality, we are dependant on others who run the network. So we can't move to IPv6 on our own :)
MvdV> Sure. But there is a reason I took an account with them. Five years ago, MvdV> I figured there was a reasonable chance that I would loose my globally MvdV> routable IPv4 address.

That's always a good idea! I could set up a VPN tunnel to one of my vServers, or use some kind of service that you mentioned, to be reachable from outside again. Let's see how all this will turn out.
