ipv6

Whatever happened to that patch that Paul Vixie sent in, that was supposed
to be applied? Why is it still in the TODO list?

Because Paul hasn't fixed the outstanding problems with it: as
submitted, it reverted the painfully-agreed-to formatting behavior
for the inet datatypes.

This could easily be dealt with (IMHO) by re-patching as we'd done
for 7.1. But Paul had an additional agenda item: he wanted to see
our code restructured as a pure wrapper around the published libbind
subroutines. I have no problem with that --- as long as someone
else does the legwork. So far, neither Paul nor anyone else has.

Yes, it is still in my review mailbox. Not sure how to handle it.
