	yup, it's such 1992 problem.  hinden and kame needs harakiri.

	steve and bob are too optimistic/academic, or too focused into
	ipv6 so that they forget about ipv4.
	they need to come to japan and take "real world ipv6" tutorial then
	visit Calgary for "security" tutorial by theo.  it's just like
	boot camp (no, not apple's, but army).  openbsd group meeting, called
	c2k7 next month, and theo will gladly sneak you in so that they can
	put two of you into BBQ grill (but they may free to bomit).

	2 is not the right answer.  bzzzt.  bad boy.  you ate 10 minutes of
	sleeping time of mine.
