:> For what it's worth, I think releasing 4.0 *without* IPv6 support
:> is a mistake. Why ? Because in < 12 months FreeBSD 5.0 will be
:> released *with* IPv6 support (I'd count IPv6 as being a big enough
:> change to signify a major release number change). If that doesn't
:> happen, then FreeBSD is chasing the wrong goals, IMHO.

:I would like to agree with darren on this one. And think IPv6 should go
:into 4.0 even if the date needs to be pushed back. It is a major release
:and adding v6 is a major change. Thats just my 2 cents anyway.

We are not going to repeat the 3.0 mess. IPV6 and IPSEC are important,
but not important enough to delay the already-delayed 4.0 release. 4.1
is not too late for these babies.
On the other hand, there are *plenty* of things already in 4.0 that really
need to get out there and get a workout by a larger audience.
Delaying *them* is a big mistake.
