+STATUS
+------
+
+This is the first official merge with XFS. IT IS NOT READY FOR PRODUCTION!
+
+We are using the IPv6 Patch set provided by Alan Coopersmith <alan.coopersmith@sun.com>
+via X.org.
+
+The patch has a few limitations that we are nicely discussing both with Alan and
+X.org and we are trying to provide patches as well.
+
+KNOWN LIMITATIONS (by us and by upstream)
+-----------------
+
+X will not start if your OS does not have IPv6 up and running.
+
+-nolisten tcp will disable both ipv6 and ipv4. the 2 protocols
+ are still considered one.
+
+numeric ipv6 addresses do not follow the standard (or well known)
+scheme of [<ipv6address>]:0.0 but simply <ipv6address>:0.0
+
+xauth/xhost do not support -n option at this point in time.
+ (xauth has been patched upstream already, xhost is more of a political
+ problem than a technical one but we are working on it)
+
+Other few small cosmetic things here and there that anyway should not create
+any usability problem to users.
+
+Unofficial packages will be provided via debian.fabbione.net when the right
+time will come.
+
+Regards,
+Fabio
