IPFW[2] has gained some IPv6 functionality lately and was supposed to repla=
ce=20
IP6FW in the long run.  It turned out, however, that IPFW[2] is not a=20
complete in-place replacement for IP6FW as IPFW2 syntax has diverted from t=
he=20
IPFW1/IP6FW syntax too much.  I am unsure about the plans for IPFW+IPv6 in=
=20
RELENG_6, HEAD certainly moves to removal of IP6FW, but more testers as=20
required.

Any datapoints with HEAD's version of IPFW+IPv6 are much appreciated.
