We currently have a list of IPv6 enabled applications at
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/pkgsrc/README-IPv6.html
That file is generated automatically on the FTP server, IIRC by some 
target in pkgsrc/Makefile.

What do you intend to do about that?

Given NetBSD's involvement and history WRT IPv6, I'd prefer not to 
deprecate that file.
