Yes, I'm considering that. If anything is holding it up, then it's IPv6 coverage being much more spotty in many countries. Disproportionally many of the IPv6 IPs are in a few countries, and then disproportionally many seem to be at just a few providers. Another problem with IPv6 is that the IP to country data is much worse, too. I don't want to turn on IPv6 and give much worse service to the early adopters. For instance Germany has the best coverage at 345/105 servers (v4/v6). Most other countries are much worse. Denmark has 37/3. Spain 19/2. Italy 25/1. Sweden 24/2. Russia 94/6. Hungary 64/7. Ukraine 73/4. Australia 60/4. Canada 59/5. Even Japan are just at 21/3. Most of the countries with less than a dozen IPv4 servers have zero, one or two IPv6 servers. As we get better coverage around the world, we can turn it on.
