I am aware of two implementations out there, and the unfortunate truth
is that both of them suck, in different ways.  (Although at least one
of them, I am told, is getting significantly better stylistically.)
Until this situation changes a bit more (or we find someone interested
in doing an IPv6 implementation that obeys style(9) and isn't
altogether bletcherous), there should not be IPv6 code in the -current
kernel.

However, having said that, I certainly see no bar to making whatever
changes in the rest of the kernel are necessary to support the drop-in
of one of these stacks (probably the NRL one).
