(i.e. forwarding off) The 'last release' in this case is 2.4.20, the nettools themself (route add) supported it all the way but the kernel simply ditched the route when net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding = 1. Non-forwarding hosts where allowed to turn on the default route thing though. But since 2.4.20 one can use 'default' again for all setups. 2000::/3 was merely a 'hack', replacing 'default'. As only 3ffe::/16, 2001::/16 and 2002::/16 are in use atm that is enough.
