Hello,

I just saw a presentation where the presenter shared his experiences
with moving his network to IPv6. One of the problems he reported, was
that pool.ntp.org was not available over IPv6:

However, that's only partially true, as 2.pool.ntp.org has had IPv6
addresses since World IPv6 Day in June 2011:

http://news.ntppool.org/2011/06/experimentally-enabling-ipv6.html

That was almost four years ago. Since then, we've had the World IPv6
Launch, and the big content companies like Google, Facebook and Netflix
are all dual-stacked and treating IPv6 as a first class citizen. On the
end-user side, there's now several economies with >10% IPv6 deployment
including big countries Germany and the U.S.; Belgium is in the lead
with an impressive >30%.

So I'm thinking that it's now time to end the "experiment" and consider
IPv6 a production service that's offered for all *.pool.ntp.org
hostnames, including the "naked" pool.ntp.org one. What do you think?

Tore
