Agreed.

In my case, I found the IPv6 support at IETF69 better than most past  
IETF meetings.

It was also interesting to open the Mac network control pannel,  
enable my Airport (WLAN) interface, and see the IPv6 global address  
appear almost instantaneously and in many case having to wait many  
seconds to minutes for DHCP provided IPv4 address to appear.
