Adding IPv6 support requires a decent amount of work -- not too much,  
but some nevertheless.


To be frank, the reason we have not added IPv6 yet is that we've seen  
very little demand for it, therefore have decided to postpone this  
for a while.

People on this list who would *need* IPv6 support should contact me  
privately so that I can re-gauge what's the level of interest in 2006.


Thanks,
