Right, the kernel already has v6, and most/all applications are v6
capable. The bigger problem is that CMU doesn't have v6 deployed, and
probably won't for a while. I couldn't even get IN SRV records added for
the Coda servers, and notice there is not a correct MX record for
coda.cs.cmu.edu either.
