We'll be offering v6 standard really soon.   It's growth that got in the
way both from employee bandwidth and overrunning the point where certain
routers couldn't handle doing more than v4 anymore.    Both have been
sorted out and we're very close, only 1 obscure junos bug we're vetting the
impact.   Once it's repaired or worked around we'll be launching the public
beta.

You'll be very surprised at how much care, effort and loss of sleep has
gone into it.

There is tens of thousands of active tunnels to us right now and I have no
clue what your referring to here.   If you have more information on someone
not allowed to run a tunnel to us, please get that information to me
asap.    Some datacenters are directly peered to HE to get better tunnel
performance and we are exactly the opposite of your statement.
