(Perhaps this is slightly an off-topic for this list, but) I'm also
interested in the reason, but it's not surprising that someone in the
world has a negative impression on a big feature like IPv6 or IPsec,
since such a thing has typically both pros and cons.

And whatever the reason is, the important thing I believe is to
keep IPv6 implementation as good as IPv4 one on FreeBSD, in terms
of both stability and functionality.  I'm quite sure the fact that
FreeBSD has provided a good IPv6 implementation has enlarged the user
base of this particular operating system, comparing to, e.g., Linux.

So, I hope core FreeBSD developers to care about the quality of IPv6
implementation as seriously as that of IPv4 implementation, regardless
of their own position on IPv6 itself.  As an IPv6-related person, I'm
willing to help that process if I can do something in that area.
