On the one hand, this is correct.  On the other hand, the project has
made a very strong effort to treat IPv6 and IPSec as first class
citizens in all respects -- people have worked very hard to make things
like NIS and NFS run over IPv6/IPSec, and even looked into making more
obscure things like ruptime and talk work (the latter will be Very Hard
(tm), btw).

I would hate to think that we were backing down from that commitment
now, without any discussion.  It's not, after all, like we're talking
about configuration tools for some obscure piece of hardware -- IPv6 and
IPSec are a very real part of where the internet is going...
