[linux] RE: Take a Stand

[Jeff King]

Kinda tells ya something there....

We have 10's of thousands of 44 ampr net addresses we are not using...and my 
guess 95% of the assigned ones are currently unused.

Now, there might be good reasons to get a IPv6 block, but at this point in 
time it most certainly has little to do with hams actually running tcp/ip 
over radio. And I'm not even sure there is a need for this, as from a routing 
perspective, it sure doesn't make any sense, assuming you still linked into 
the internet proper.
