In many locations Linux is used for IPv6 routing, as well (thanks to zebra and its good BGP4+ support). We already do lots of stuff over IPv6, as well (from IRC over mail / http / rsync / persistent ssh sessions over DSL etc). A general DNS change to drop IPv6 support in sarge would be a show stopper for us. E.g. mail.scram.de is currently running NetBSD (with IPv6 enabled SMTP, POP3, IMAP, sieve, uucp, all with or without TLS), but we're about to switch to a linux-ha based Debian cluster (running two hppa boxes) real soon now :-) --jochen
