Yes. As soon as the branch is made I will start the ipv6 merge in this order:
 - new independant files; IPAddress, getaddrinfo, etc. That support the
later of the pieces.
  Anything ready that does not alter IP handling code can go in at the
same time. There are a dozen or so files I think for that. Maybe 3-4
days at most.
 ** by anything not touching IP, I'm thinking store, buffer, header,
cleanups etc.

 - then after a re-sync with HEAD to drop the critical core patch size.
The big one will go in.

This may result in more cleanup for me.

SSLBump will need a refactoring after the IPAddress gets merged. As the
Config.* updates will likely clash. I have not followed eCAP closely, but
I don't think it will.

I am thinking an IPv6 PRE1 dec/jan. SSLBump seems to be good enough to
join it.

If you think eCAP is stable enough it might go in PRE1, but the async work
still seems to be very volatile. I think that should be timelined for PRE2
feb/mar after some more testing as it is now.

By then we will be closing off the 'new' features for 3.1RC1 and be able
to timeline the rest of the PRE with those features.
