hehehe, but your users will not move to IPv6, because they will say:
"We are used to being able to use jail on IPv4 and you say we must
wait until there is more than 50% of us using IPv6 before we will get
jail for IPv6?". :-)

And we can substitute whatever functionality for jail. If we want
people to even think of moving to IPv6 we will have to make as much
of FreeBSD's functionality work on there as possible.

I think I was lucky to have mostly been screened from OSI, so I can't
really compare them. IPv6 seem quitealive to me though.
