IPv6 is a very complex area and I believe that a -RELEASE should come with
both a clean IPv6 stack and working userland tools.  When looking at
Linux and Solaris, they also lack a usable IPv6 support when it comes
to userland tools.

A lot of things need to be modified: ifconfig, route, ipfw, tcpd, ...
and all the client/server tools you can find in /etc/inetd.conf

I doubt that IPv6 will make it into 4.0-RELEASE, but I'm sure it
will be a major item for this year.
