You don't have to re-release the same year pushing IPv6.

Some have suggested 4.1 for IPv6 - bah.  That'd be like how RedHat tried
to make a big deal out of 6.y (see what I mean ?) vs someone else's new
X.

Then again, it seems FreeBSD releases are driven by marchitecture rather
than architecture.  mmm, theregister
