I'm setting goals for a release, but those goals vary a lot with users' priorities, with the newly developped or merged features, etc... Even yesterday I was saying to a coworker that we should complete the IPv6 path to the server, so that we can get rid of some impossible cases we can't handle right now (eg: transparent mode, etc...). So it might be possible that we finally get that ready for 1.5-final just because it would simplify some code. Or simply because someone will have spent some time on it because he needs it and will have contributed the patch. I know that we also need to support it in IP ACLs, because as far as I remember we currently don't. I wouldn't set it as a high priority simply because there are a lot more things that many people would like to get right now. Full IPv6 is still for just a small group of users unfortunately.
