I agree.  Why rush 4.0-RELEASE out the door if it's "not there yet"?  One
possibility is to make our 4.0-current something like 3.9-RELEASE, and
when everything has been added, release 4.0-RELEASE.  3.9-RELEASE would be
a lot like 4.0-REL, only with some missing parts (such as IPV6 you just
mentioned).  That way, 3.9-REL would bear all the shortcomings of a
release ending in 0, and when 4.0-REL comes out, it would be less buggy
than most *.0 releases.  (It would really be at the level of a *.1 release
then.)
