I don't suspect many folks that are outside of this list would likely have
any idea how to set up a v6 tunnel.  Those of us on the list, likely have a
much greater ability to influence v6 adoption or not via day job
deployments then Netflix supporting v6 tunnels or not.

Depends - how many US users have native IPv6 through their ISPs?

If I remember correctly (I can't find the source at the moment), HE.net
represents something like 70% of IPv6 traffic in the US.

And yeah, not doing that - actually in the middle of an IPv6 project at
work at the moment that's a bit important to me.

The information I'm getting from Netflix support now is explicitly
telling
me to turn off IPv6 - someone might want to stop them before they
completely kill US IPv6 adoption.

Not allowing he.net tunnels is not killing ipv6. You just need need
native
ipv6.

On the other hand it would be nice if Netflix would try the other
protocol
before blocking.
