Just to be certain that my message was not misinterpreted: this is not
intended as a personal attack or a devaluation of your work on IPv6.
I just think that having separate layer-2 domains for IPv4 and IPv6 is a
terrible idea and is prone to subtle bugs.

Instead of this horrible hack, please have a look at the excellent work
done by the Homenet people from the IETF, in particular HNCP and hnetd.
