In light of IPv6 missing, at the start of the 21st century,
when just about every other major OS is getting ready to include
it in their next release ?

I'd say no.  btw, Apple have announced IPv6 support in MacOS-X.

Anyway, I'm now sorry I brought this issue up.  Maybe I should
have stayed quiet and not gotten people worked up about this and
let FreeBSD go ahead and release 4.0 without IPv6.  At last then
the other BSD's might have been able to grab some market share.

Like I said in a post elsewhere, the people driving FreeBSD seem
more interested in goals other than those which are significant
milestones for FreeBSD and the Internet.

Apologies,
Darren
