Hey, the reason you're taking all the flames here is because *YOU* are the one
who said that the IPv6 stuff was "unusable" because it didn't have a firewall
that did connection tracking.
If it's something you shouldn't be relying on, the lack of it doesn't render
something (in your own words):

So the lack of something you "should not rely on entirely" makes it "effectively
non-functional".
Right.
