I'm a very happy user of m0n0wall and I know pfSense is often seen as
the more 'grown up' variant.

Still though, I hear bad things of the IPv6 support in pfSense. It's
"available" but not stock-standard & supported.

How does the pfSense developer attitude towards filtering the entire
Internet, IPv6 included, currently stand?
