I reallu thing that IPV6 is too > important to make a release with it "half" implemented. What would be nice is a table of features versus release in which they appear. Something like 3.3 3.4 3.x? 4.0 4.1 5.0 hood ornaments x x tailights p x x hubcaps x bigger trunk x sound system 8 track x cassette x fairings Where x == full support, p == partial support. More complex features get broken into featurelets. Adjust and publish the table every few weeks/months to reflect reality -- generally that means turning an x into p or moving it to the next column! Separately you lay down a tentative schedule so people know when to expect what feature + developers have a target to shoot for and last minute surprises are fewer. Given the volunteer nature of the project the schedule will be much more tentative but it is useful nonetheless. Having said all that, IMHO a 4.0 release with partial IPv6 support would be useful.
