Well,... there is a ton of reasons one may not want to deploy v6; I
disagree, but well, my boxes are dual-stack through-and-through; My
network, my rules, your network your rules, and the rest comes to
opinions*.

But could we please stop with the "IPv6 is a security risk"-thing?

Yes, it is if you do not conf your systems properly (e.g., only v4
firewalling and binding $backend globally). Then again, so is OpenSSH
if you think allowing root logins with a password and setting the root
password to "root" is a good thing to do.

But honestly, then you have a whole bunch of different issues.

OpenBSD has an awesome v6 stack; I have several prod boxes on v6 only,
and it just works (granted, installed via an in-AS mirror, so never hit
the mirror list thing).

With best regards,
Tobias

*And on opinions: What should motivate _everyone_ to get on v6 ASAP is
that it would end the business model of some rather annoying IPv4
address traders (I acknowledge there are also not-annoying ones who
would be affected, but that is a sacrifice i am willing to make. ;-)).
