I was wondering that, so I posted a message on linux-kernel.
So far I have got one irritated response via private E-Mail
(paraphrased: can't you get your facts straight? IPv6 servers do work
on Linux). I pointed out that he may have misunderstood me, and gave
him references to the messages posted in this mailing list.

Agreed.
Perhaps somebody should mail these people directly? (assuming they
don't see my message; even then it might help, as judging from the
first response I got other people might be confused too; somebody else
might be able to clarify the important issues involved, such as what
Wichert said above).
