I have received similar complaints. There are still a lot of technical
issues with IPv6.

The ipv6 autoconfiguration exposes around 6000 lines of code, which is
a lot of code,
if you compare it to the size of the arp code (approximately 200 lines
of code). The sheer complexity
of IPv6 implementations raises quite a few questions about the
security of IPv6.

IPv6 implementors and spec writers need to think about auditing the
IPv6 specs and codebases. Maybe it's time for KAME 2.0 :-)
