GitHub not being available via IPv6 is the biggest hurdle because so much depends on it.

That's a hurdle to moving clients from dual-stack to IPv6-only, but it's not a hurdle to moving clients from IPv4-only to dual-stack, which a lot of ISPs still haven't done yet.

I know the Azure Application Gateway is meant to be getting ipv6 support later this year, it is certainly the reason why my services are ipv4 currently.

I’d expect GitHub to have moved to Azure since the buyout.

The IPv6 adoption seems more tied to Azure/AWS/GCP support than anything else.

I often thought if Netflix started doing Live sports on IPv6 multicast, that might finally change things with all the home internet connections..

I like it, but you could do it without a brownout. Similar to the ipv6 test websites, have the major site check ipv6 and put up a banner with your message.

Think you will need more than that!! Rollout has stagnated for over 20 years.

What? The google ipv6 tracking page shows linear growth. Iirc we are close to tipping over to 50% of users on ipv6. Especially with the development of Asia and Africa, ipv6 still looks like it will eventually be the default.
