i have yet to see a cisco ios image supporting ipv6 that was usable
in production environment.  and i have tried hard.

but i will admit to not having seen apollo networking for over a
decade.  but i probably have not been looking very widely.

seems to me that one useful question is whether the netns code
being there non-trivially complicates maintenance and/or
reliability of other code, and can i compile or module it out if
the bits it occupies really bothers me?
