My understanding is that sepia's current infrastructure hosting can't give
us real IPv6, so we're not in any position to really make any promises
about interoperability. Sorry. :(

That said, I think Wido's list is the way to go — but I don't remember the
problem with running mixed. Is it just that the messenger implementations
don't handle it live, I think? Certainly shutting down, updating all the
monmaps/configs (if you are setting monitor IP addresses instead of hosts),
and then turning it all back on should work but you're on your own... ;)
