I think you should get ipfw6 in now, even if it doesn't support everything
ipfw(4) does.  As long as it doesn't interfere with ipfw(4), I really
think it should be in at the point of 4.0-RELEASE.  My sentiments earlier
were that I didn't want incompatible ipfw's, however if one is controlled
by ipfw6(8) and one by ipfw(8), and they can be kept separate, it wouldn't
be a problem to have both.  It would be a bad idea to just plain have 4.0
go out without the IPv6 firewall, even if that said firewall was missing
features of the IPv4 one.  I would work on merging the features of the IPv4
ipfw into the ipfw6 after 4.0.  What do you think?
