Someone once asked Angela Merkel what she liked most about Germany.  She
replied "Ich denke an dichte Fenster! Kein anderes Land kann so dichte und
so sch?ne Fenster bauen"

("I think ... thick windows.  No other country can build windows which are
as thick or as nice.")

This might just be a cultural thing.  While lots of countries have a love
affair with doing things badly, Germany realises the value of quality
infrastructure.

6to4 is ghetto.  DE-NIC doesn't like it.  Putting a DNS server on a 6to4
address serves no other purpose than to say: "There!  I fixed it!"
