(quagga is one of the leading Free Software routing protocol daemons, and runs well on NetBSD.) quagga is proposing to drop the "--disable-ipv6" flag, which avoids including v6 headers. One will still be able to turn off OSPFv3 (for v6) and RIPng. This seems fine for us; I'm pretty sure not even mouse@ has a running NetBSD system without v6 header files :-) I can't pin down the date from memory, but I think we had IPv6 in the 2nd half of the 90s. And I'm not aware of any currently-maintained operating system out there without v6 support. Does anyone see any reasons why this a) would be problematic on NetBSD or b) (OT I know) be problematic anywhere else?
