Do you mean this part of the answer from 2007:

"Well we're largely dependent on UCL (and Bytemark to a lesser extent)
being able to allocate us IPv6 addresses for our machines."

Have you asked ?  (this year, not in the Dark Ages)

Nearly all academic/unisversity networks support ipv6 (nl ,be, ch, de, fr, at, 
cn, jp, pt, edu,....)  

Openstreetmap is a very progressive project and it does not fit, if we are the 
last member of the ipv6-internet.


bytemark has some infos to this topic:

Also ucl is involved with projects in ipv6. 

Make OPENSTREETMAP to the traffic-KILLER-APPLICATION for ipv6 at ucl !!


Lets solving the Chicken-and-egg problem in ipv6 by simply doing it.
