You mean: regarding use of IPv6. Otherwise - not quite :-)

Softupdates is under very specific copyright, that's one thing. The other
thing is that its strength is when _writing_ a lot of data to the disks.

As for the flash disks: it's just a different media, nothing so special
about it. Yes, the read access is extremely fast, but write speed is quite
low. Perhaps here's where softupdates could help a little, but you would
need to do some research how well they interact with speed and wear
leveling algorithms used by flash vendors...
