I understand that, but you know DVB module in Pike 7.4/7.5 is only Linux specific, so "it didn't compile on many systems" is not really a good argument to the fact that IPv6 support was not accepted.
What's the DVB module?
IPv6 support ought to be on the same modules where IPv4 is today, that must be Stdio.File aka _files.Fd (or so?).
The idea is to start a IPv6 support on at least one Operating System, then trying to port on other depending of access on other system.
Does anyone has a primer on IPv6 and how to setup an IPv6 network? There isn't any chance that my ISP can talk IPv6, is there?

The non-interest of the patches was not due to lack of interest in IPv6 support, but the fact that it didn't compile on many systems. But that isn't news to you...

I really think that IPv6 (even if it is not complete) must be added on pike.
Even if Marek work is incomplete, it is really a good start to finish it on other OS...
