IPv6 ioctl's? [Re: I-D ACTION:draft-ietf-ipngwg-rfc2553bis-07.txt - new ioctls? (fwd)]

What do folks feel -- should there be some ioctl's similar to IPv4 or such? Currently this is basically available through proc or netlink, but I'd prefer also to have some (at least almost uniform) mechanisms common to most implementations... -- Pekka Savola "Tell me of difficulties surmounted, Netcore Oy not those you stumble over and fall" Systems.

This is probably a dumb question, but is there must be a reason why these API's don't talk at all about ioctl's etc? For example, I see no

way of obtaining (all or some) of one's IPv6 addresses, or whatever else was useful with SIOC*.
We also have wondered if there are going to be either IPv6-specific or version-neutral replacements for the SIOCGIF* ioctls that use an ifreq structure?
