I think all the v6 machinery is there except for a way to configure it
correctly (I've managed to configure it almost-correctly by hand),
dhcp support for V6 addresses, dns & dhcp cooperation when assigning
addresses (dynamic DNS updates), and of course IPSEC.  I have some
sympathy for omitting IPSEC, nice though it would be to have.  An
in-kernel implementation would be pretty ugly and there's still the
need for automatic key negotiation (the stuff that racoon does on
systems using the KAME V6 stack).
