IPv6 has alot of "under the carpet" issues because vendors fear too much 
discussion about this will delay large-scale use even more. Every sane 
person agree the world needs to move to IPv6, but IMHO this is not being 
done in the most responsible manner.

I propose we let the billion dollars companies do the hard work, but at 
the same protect SMBs from IPv6. The Fedora Project could do their part 
by disabling IPv6 by default.

Please see my message providing links about IPv6 security threats, 
including recent slides (this year!) from IETF members. I do my homework 
before making statements on the net.
