Re-Argh...

Um, on a pratical point of view, I think it could be good to merge the 
IPv6 patchset in your git, (if there aren't too much conflicts and if it 
doesn't take too long), to store it somewhere and be able to use it as 
a reference.

I also tend to think that we should think a bit more about the issue 
raised by Dave and try to find an alternative solution (if needed)
before dropping the current model for handling netns.
