My view was that we should treat unix, ipv4, and ipv6 as independent
address families each with their own on/off switch (except that unix
doesn't have an off switch).  Tom's view is that we should treat ipv4 and
ipv6 as effectively one address family.  That makes sense, too, and it is
probably more with the spirit of IPv6.
