Announcement: IPv6 promotion campaign

[Torsten Zuehlsdorff]

Hello,

FreeBSD supports IPv6 since 15 years and while IPv4 addresses running 
low, its quite annoying how often there is no IPv6 support for existing 
sites.

I'm hit at a regularly basis by that lack of support and it happens to 
affect a greater number of the ports including some popular programs.

For example rubygems.org misses IPv6 support, rendering more than 1.000 
ports unfetchable and not buildable at an IPv6 only connection. Same is 
true for Firefox and Thunderbird. Even codeload.github.com is not 
reachable via IPv6.
LibreOffice for example is not buildable, because some of the 
dependencies are not fetchable.

While this is of course not a problem of FreeBSD it hits me as FreeBSD 
user with my great numbers of IPv6 only jails ;)

In the next weeks i will start an promotion campaign to reduce the lack 
of support.

Therefore i will:
- create a list of ports not fetchable through IPv6
- assembling a list of affected hosters
- contact the projects and try to help them to add support

If anybody is interested in help me with this task, feel free to contact 
me! :)

Greetings,
Torsten
