The biggest thing that should be celebrated about this announcement is the availability of IPv6 addresses. Hopefully the rest of the regions will be enabled soon too!

We are in the process of opening up in datacenters in NYC and AMS which will also feature IPv6 and then we'll be retrofitting the remaining datacenters for that.

Thanks!

At least one other region has had them for a while (Singapore I think).

If by "a while" you mean less than a month: https://www.digitalocean.com/company/blog/announcing-ipv6-su....

I am a customer of DO's but I am not a happy one since I have to muck around with 6in4 tunnels just to get this basic stuff working.

Long time customers have had access to it since early May.. https://assets.digitalocean.com/email/ipv6-grandfathered.htm...

So a small number of customers had IPv6 access in one of seven data centers for just over two months. Sorry, but I don't see this as a big redeeming correction (though it is factual).
