Andy, Work on our Linux guest agent is being headed up by Chris Behrens and is located here: https://launchpad.net/agent-smith
We've added support for the various Linux distros. We've also been working internally on getting our Windows guest agent opensourced. Both of our agents allow us to do reconfiguration while the instance is up and running instead of boot-time only in order to prevent unnecessary downtime for our customers. We anticipate adding IPv6 support to both agents next.
