Nice, thanks a lot. :-)

As an aside...,

IMO, we must always face the reality: now, and in the future even more so,
relatively fewer and fewer people (as the userbase grows, especially with
novice users) will use USAGI libraries and kernel; rather, the standard
ones in their distribution.

The only way to ensure better IPv6 in the long term is upstreaming.

For example, KAME would be nothing (compared to what it is now, anyway) if
it wasn't integrated and maintained (in an excellent fashion, btw.) in
different BSD's; as a separate patch, it'd only be used by people who are
very seriously into IPv6.
