I feel that IPv6 should be a minimum requirement. At the time the author
felt it should be an advanced paid-for feature. I treat commercial
vendors the same way: no IPv6, no sale. That nastygram made me not want
to donate (money or code) to IPplan. One shouldn't get into open source
expecting money.
The world moves forward and what is seen as a minimum requirement is
eventually going to move with it.
