Thanks for bringing up your concerns. If you think of further things, you should also know that you can participate remotely to UDS: http://uds.ubuntu.com/participate/remote/ That way, if the schedule suits you, you can react in real time to the discussions. > o One thing I just discovered is that a maverick VM that only has an IPv6 > only > connection (and even an IPv6 mirror or apt package cache configured) will > not detect the natty upgrade through the update manager.

AFAICT it's not yet supported (either in PPPoE itself or the work hasn't been done in NM yet; see http://cgit.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/commit/?id=a4ab74d9038c073c0d998658cd480191c519fa67). > o Implementing a checkbox in NM for IPv6 Privacy addresses got postponed.

[0] I'd like to do it; I haven't really thought of it as a goal though, in Natty it was mostly a "if I can take time to implement it". Since I guess it's probably not too complicated to implement, I'll put this in as a tentative work item for the IPv6 blueprint. [...] > o Maybe UFW should be IPv6 enabled by default? That's something else that should be kept in mind for the dicussion at UDS, so I'll add it to the blueprint for discussion and review (in case it already works).
