Hmm.  We'll need to talk about the IPv6 only.  We're certainly
encouraging dual IPv4/IPv6 connectivity and several (including the
primary ftp.freebsd.org) sites are set up that way.  But IPv6 only would
mean the mirror is unusable by the huge majority of the user base so I'm
not sure how I feel about it being one of the ftpX.freebsd.org or
ftpX.us.freebsd.org hosts.  That thought hadn't crossed my mind yet.

One thought that did cross my mind already though...  cvsup is currently
IPv4 only.
