My understanding is that there is some IPv6 support in HEAD, but not
in RELENG_1. Someone who has the time and inclination should join the
development team; they do not seem averse to the notion of having v6
support in there, but like so many other endeavors, effort is
commensurate with demand, yadda yadda yadda...
