Tony,

I appreciate what you're trying to accomplish here but I think you
improperly merged two consensus statements into one. Unless I'm badly
mistaken we only have consensus on one of them.

1. Any valid solution set must support IPv6.

2. A valid solution set may but is not required to support IPv4.

I suspect we have a strong consensus on point 1. The reservations,
hedging and outright rejection offered strongly suggest that we lack
consensus (rough or otherwise) on point 2.

There's a simple enough solution: take the two separated statements
and ask again.

Regards,
Bill Herrin
