Well, that patch was really about that that a clustermatic startup
file ignores your netmask specification and a way to fix that
without relying on utilities which are present only on some
installations.

Yes, there are some tradeoffs both ways.  I am not sure if
ipv6 is needed at all for a cluster.  At least for now.

I tried that with bproc-4.0.0pre6 a few days ago.  A kernel patch
needed some adjustments.  No idea yet how different that is from
what is now in CVS.  A node came up without any fuss and looked ok
but bpsh got an indigestion.  A filp_open() call errored out.
I cannot tell much more at the moment.
