I don't know if you realise, I most of IPv6 _IS_ currently in 4.x if you
compile your kernel with INET6 enabled:

From route(8):
For AF_INET6, the -prefixlen qualifier is available instead of the -mask
qualifier because non-continuous masks are not allowed in IPv6. For ex-
ample, -prefixlen 32 specifies network mask of
ffff:ffff:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000 to be used. The default value of
prefixlen is 64 to get along with the aggregatable address. But 0 is as-
sumed if default is specified. Note that the qualifier works only for
AF_INET6 address family.
I don't understand how you can say that it _isn't integrated!
