Any need to keep them? $ git grep -l 'struct in6_addr' CMakeLists.txt cmakeconfig.h.in config.h.in configure configure.ac netdissect-stdinc.hThat's there for the benefit of OSes whose APIs don't have standard IPv6 support; if there are any left that we care about (or if there are old non-IPv6 versions we care about for any OSes we support), then it might be useful, but I'm not sure it would build (we use gethostbyaddr(), so *maybe* it'll compile, and maybe gethostbyaddr() will fail when passed AF_INET6 and the code will just show the IPv6 address rather than a name). Should we care about it, or should we just drop support for OSes lacking native IPv6 support in 5.0?
