Yes, I can understand this. I mean, when things get rushed, noone is happy (I won't open the 3.0 can of worms, but I'm glad Jordan (or whoever else did them?) had the guts to say it is a _developer_release_! Damn nestea bug...)) I am expressing my sentiments that this would be a GREAT selling point for a later FreeBSD release, just like CAM, SoftUpdates, new VM system, SMP,the new boot-loader, ELF, all sorts of code rewirtes, etc. are great selling points for 3.x. Whenever a regional ISP does IPv6, I wouldn't mind at all in testing/implementing IPv6 in various parts of the system (and yes, I mean modem ISP *sigh*). Let's not rush it, but we should get KAME or another IPv6 stack in a vendor branch as soon as feasible/comfortable.
