[OSM-dev] [OSM-talk] AAAA openstreetmap still doesn't use ipv6

[Andy Robinson (blackadder-lists)]

Firstly, I've moved this discussion to dev. Please continue it there where
it belongs.

Secondly, nothing is done within OSM on a whim. As others have said, a plan
is produced and if there is widespread agreement it gets implemented when
those that give their time can schedule it to do what's necessary.

So, point me and everyone else to the wiki page where this issue is already
presented. At the moment I see http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/IPv6 which
doesn't give one jot of information. It needs laying out, the arguments for
and against and the reasons why one timescale over another is important.
Until that is done I'm as sceptical as the next person.

Cheers
