I think what he meant was that there'd be no real advantage in just
tossing one of the implementations into the lap of FreeBSD.ORG and
saying "you guys maintain it" - we've done that bit before with chunks
of code like that for the first ISDN card support, code which then
only rotted and had to be removed again.  The "winning" IPv6
implementation should be, IMHO, the one who's implementors are willing
to maintain it directly in -current as committers.  That sounds like
the WIDE project to me, frankly.  They seemed both willing and eager
to do this when I met with some of them in Japan a couple of months
back, but let's see what the INRIA folks have to say on the same
subject.
