Perhaps eduroam can take one 'experimental slot' (not sure how many
experiments we'll have?). And, if it causes hardship, rip it out,
like we'd do other experiments.

As to the v6only SSID I note that one would need to be WPA as the portal
doesn't do v4, or am I opening another can of worms here?

Perhaps do eduroam on 2.4 only then? That would work..

It would just be a "it would be nice if ..." and I agree with Lucy in that
I think the experiment would be kind of cool.
