I'd like to point out that if full IPv6 or IPSec support isn't
ready for us within this timeframe, I highly doubt that it's going to
be ready for anyone else in that same timeframe. On that basis, if
anyone else ships with any support for IPv6 or IPSec, it's likely to
be incomplete, buggy, and probably cause more problems than it's
worth.
If there is not even a snowball's chance in Hell that these
things will be ready in the timeframe we're going to do 4.0-RELEASE
in, then we should go ahead and not wait for them, and instead
integrate them in under 4.1-RELEASE, or whenever they're actually
ready.
If there is something that kinda, semi, sorta works today, then
it should either be a port or you should at least be able to get the
source and put it on the system and get it to compile and install
yourself, right?
How is this any different than if we ship sendmail 8.9.3 as the
default MTA today, but if you want to go get and use postfix instead,
you're welcome to do so?
