Way OT but as a fellow NAT-suffering european you ought to be cheering and

that anybody cares if you ran the whole thing on top of serial muxes with
multidrop slip encapsulating chaosnet and XNS but I want IPv6 on everything
that I have:) Actually I just played my first ever IPv6 Quake-game last week
with end-to-end native v6 only. I sucked.. and I was the only player.

That's quite true. Though in the case of HP I don't think that they've ever
failed:) The *best* computers I've seen/had/used so far. Not like Sparcs with
those pesky idprom problems (I've got a 330 in need of surgery).
This is the way
life goes. NetBSD is a living system. It grows, new
features like IPv6 (that will become mandatory), wscons (that is
reasonible), RAIDframe, Softdeps ... are "bloating" the system. This is
Why should IPv6 be mandatory? Isn't that supposed to be backwards-compatible
as far as end clients are concerned, and isn't it my business what I run on my
network? And why shouldn't one expect NFS support from
2.2BSD?
hmm, the gains aren't worth it ?
