I would actually ask for "no more cleanup changes to tun.c before 2.3" -
I have cleaned up and *tested* all non-Linux-platforms in the previous
months and everything is working well now (not looking very pretty, I'm
the first to agree on this), but *working* *now*.
If we start to break tun.c into pieces now, this will need extensive testing
on all platforms. Since I seem to be the only developer who does full
testing of tun/tap, ipv4/ipv6 on FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD, and I do not
have much time right now (conferences and second child due in two months),
I don't see enough testing capacity for this.
What I would really like to see is "get out 2.3 with the (big) improvements
we have right now, and start with 2.4 right after". The next massive code
refactoring should go into 2.4
We need more user feedback to see which bits of the IPv6 implementation are
incomplete and need to be implemented next - and without exposure, we won't
get that.
