I think we have to test the code first, and after recommend to mantainers to apply the patches. We think the usagi kernel patch is ok?, then let's recommend to Debian kernel mantainer to apply the patches. The way for the apps....

I think we need to set some standards that all programs adhere to.
For instance, do we require IPv6 programs work with the standard Linux
kernel API (which I argue is broken), or do we require the USAGI
kernel extensions?
I would recommend the later, as it doesn't require servers ignore the
error code returned by bind, which IMHO is a bad thing.
