Just to second this emotion: I'm very much on the IPv6 train in
general,
but it would be very nice if any changes to very sensitive distro
components - glibc, NetworkManager, stuff like that - could be
decided
and nailed down *quickly*. I don't mind this being a sort of
'aspirational' feature in general, as it seems to be, but for core
stuff
- critpath - it would be very good to have a clearly defined scope
well
before we start cutting F19 builds.
So far I don't intend any modifications to NetworkManager in scope of this feature,
except maybe address configuration format which has already been done.
I am working on thorough modifications to glibc's getaddrinfo, though. It
unfortunately proved to fail in many ways. This is the main priority of the feature,
followed by utility libraries (likeglib), and client and server applications.
Any help with clarification appreciated.
Cheers,
Pavel
