Im not the one setting a deadline for FreeBSD releases. So thats moot. The point im trying to make is regardless of the state IPv6 is in, leaving it out of a major release is a no no IMO. Looking at the 4.4BSD Design and Implementation book you can see that on all major releases NEW items were added, TCP/IP, VM, etc.. Now everyone is perfectly aware of the fact that -core tries to keep releases and FreeBSD in general as stable as possible. And ultimely it's up to david and the rest what is going in and what is not. No one is going to argue with that. All I am saying and I think other's as well is that leaving v6 OUT of 4.0 would possibly be a negative move for the OS. It's not like were moving from v4 to v6. Were just asking that it be included in the OS. It should be available to researchers using 4.0-RELEASE. That's all im saying. There is no reason to ask for resources or anything else to make it happen. It's simply, include it even though it's buggy or dont. Thats how I see it anyway. There are people who are speaking up saying "Yes I want to see v6 in 4.0". I personally can live with it being in 4.1 or later. But if it's going to hurt FreeBSD in research labs, and universities who move to Linux instead or Solaris because they have a shipping v6 release regardless of how well it works that will hurt FreeBSD. That's all i'm saying take it for what its worth. Chris To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
