Right now I am looking if the code can be changed to make '*:port'
a synonym for '0.0.0.0:port', so the old notation would mean IPv4
only.

If this is possible, existing config files would continue to work,
with IPv4 only.

that would be acceptable.
the best way would be listening on bith of course.

  pass in proto tcp to port 80
covers which address family again? :)


The whole problem boils down to the question what an asterisk in
OpenBSD mean.

Does '*' mean 0.0.0.0 _and_ :: or does it mean an AF dependend
default?  Does '*' make sense at all?

sshd has

#ListenAddress 0.0.0.0
#ListenAddress ::

and thus is explicit.

In my opinion we should not use the ambigous '*' at all, in all
daemons.
