i'm probably just overlooking an obvious discussion, but i don't see a
thread related to IPv6 entry support and/or the previous thread
referenced here.

does the "entry" support imply full IPv6 support?  (or is "entry"
simply the requisite client support for utilizing IPv6 exit
capability?)

the UDP/DTLS re-architecture could fit the 3 year time frame ... :P

(a half joke; this is incredibly complicated, and the easy approaches
like TCP over UDP will suck in addition to compromising anonymity...
of course, the challenge is half the fun, right?)
