IPFW[2] has gained some IPv6 functionality lately and was supposed to replace 
IP6FW in the long run.  It turned out, however, that IPFW[2] is not a 
complete in-place replacement for IP6FW as IPFW2 syntax has diverted from the 
IPFW1/IP6FW syntax too much.  I am unsure about the plans for IPFW+IPv6 in 
RELENG_6, HEAD certainly moves to removal of IP6FW, but more testers as 
required.

Any datapoints with HEAD's version of IPFW+IPv6 are much appreciated.
