I pretty much never test IPV6 and I'm not embarassed.  Really, I
simply do not use it and have no interest in IPV6 at all.  It's simply
not on my radar.  I'll work on ipv6 bugs, but as far as using it
actively and testing every driver I write with it, NO WAY.

And that is OK.

Nobody else should be embarrased about failing to test ipv6 either.
Don't be rediculious David.

The community will test that eventually, find the problems, and the
bugs will get fixed.  End of story.
