David,
Good, I have some patches for using PIM Version1 on IPv4 that I'll send to you and Alexey for reviewing.
I also discused with Pedro Roque, some pratical aspects of implementing PIM on IPv6 and I'm now starting this work.

IPv4: Bugs in ip_fragmentation, some races it would appear from dumps. TCP needs some work doing on it. Routing has some clean ups pending. Alexey is promising serious magic with his next patches so as soon as I get them we find out. There may be some interface breakage to come. Other folk are working on syn-protection/syn-cookies. Nobody is currently working on the TCP problems, but we may well get some of that from the 2.0.29ISS work.
SMBfs over IPv4 apparently doesn't work. I don't think anyone is working on this issue.
IPv6: Probably needs a new maintainer now. No work in progress.
Eric Schenk and myself have agreed to co-maintain the core parts of IPv[46] together. At least for the time being.
We both have a good idea of how to plane all of the TCP code down and make it scream. The TCP bugs should be all killed within a reasonable amount of time.
