Yes, and because we no that damn well, we are evil enough, that we won't do it 
for you ;-)

I guess for the foreseeable future both, the users and the service providers, 
will run a dual stack modus. So even ip4-only users can access the services, 
i.e. there will be no ipv6-only websites.

I expect the workload on the providers side in the long-run, cause once there 
are for whatever reasons ipv6-only users, they have to make shure to offer 
their services for ipv6 as well or loose those users.

The times are changing rapidly. I've recently moved a server to a new hosting 
location, and for the first time, I hadn't to ask (unsuccessfully) for ipv6 
support, but was asked instead, if I do need it.

ok.

Do you speak LUA?

Currently the while webconf framework has not been added and the future is 
open for discussion.

As a first step I'd like to add the current packages to Bering-uClibc 4 and 
buildtool. 
If you volunteer to lead the migration to a new haserl version, feel free to 
do so.
