true enough. i guess this means that we get IPv6 "as is, where is" and there will be limited new development of same. --bill On Tue, Sep 25, 2007 at 06:59:28PM +0000, Steven M. Bellovin wrote:

The IP Version 6 Working Group (ipv6) in the Internet Area has concluded.
The IESG contact persons are Jari Arkko and Mark Townsley.

A new Working Group, 6MAN, has been created to deal with maintenance issues arising in IPv6 specifications. The IPv6 WG is closed. This is an important milestone for IPv6, marking the official closing of the IPv6 development effort.
The ADs would like to thank everyone -- chairs, authors, editors, contributors -- who has been involved in the effort over the years. The IPv6 working group and its predecessor, IPNGWG, produced 79 RFCs (including 5 in the RFC queue).
Issues relating to IPv6 should in the future be taken up in 6MAN if they relate to problems discovered during implementation or deployment; V6OPS if they relate to operational issues; BOF proposals, individual submissions etc. for new functionality.
The mailing list of the IPv6 WG stays alive; the list will still be used by the 6MAN WG in order to avoid people having to resubscribe and/or adjust their mail filters.
