Well I'm also looking at IPv6 at the moment and it would really be nice if
we can get a version of IPv6 standard in FreeBSD. I have been looking at
(and using) the KAME stuff the last few weeks and am quite impressed
with it. One of the advantages (for me) about the KAME stack is that we
also get their IPSEC stuff, while with INRIA being in France, it makes
things a little more complicated. It does mean that we will probably
have to decide beforehand how we will deal with the crypto code. Maybe
somehow seperate it and make it available from internat.freebas.org for
the nonUSA people, like the rest of the FreeBSD crypto code?

I know the last IPv6 discussion ended with the idea that the different
IPv6 groups should "get together" and figure out what should go into
FreeBSD and where it should go into FreeBSD, but I'm not sure that
anything happened after that? Or was it just behind the scenes?
