I very much appreciate you playing with IPv6 and IPFire. That is good
to learn the system better and also to get familiar with IPv6. I
honestly do not think that this will ever be possible to become some
supported feature in IPFire 2. There is too much to do and this is just
covering the tip of the iceberg.

It might. We disabled IPv6 in some packages like squid, curl and so on
because these were sometimes causing errors.

I do not know about the others. I think I remember that we disabled
some of them because it won't built. Not too sure about that.

IPFire 3 is ready for IPv6. I would appreciate much more to focus on
that then and then finally get rid of IPFire 2.

Just for reference:
