point of order, unrelated to this comment (although i do tend to agree):
when replying to a long message, such as a large commit, it's helpful to
trim the message you're replying to so it only includes relevant text,
such as the commit message, not the entire message.

otherwise, i have to sit here holding space bar for about 5 seconds to
scroll down to find what you actually wrote.

this isn't aimed at you specifically, since i've noticed this happening
a few times recently.  for those of us who read all src-committers mail
(which i guess is a large fraction of developers), some considerate
trimming saves a lot of people a lot of time.

thank you for your consideration and please continue improving our IPv6
stack :-)
