There's a BIG difference: almost everybody on the Internet will
have to run IPv6 sooner or later. The potential user base is much
bigger than for a ISDN driver for a specific card, it's much less
likely to be forgotten or unmaintained.

I can't provide 24/24 7/7 support on IPv6, but I'd be glad to
support the INRIA IPv6 code for -current if there is a need for
committers. That's what I'm already doing with my set of patches
I need to update every now and then, it can only be easier for me
if that code is integrated in the main tree.
