It seems that the netfilter developers are far to conservative in this case. - Linux 2.6 is itself is still not deemed completely stable. - IPv6 support is still marked experimental. So I doubt someone would blame them for pushing a not so well tested patch in this case but the current netfilter implementation for IPv6 is far from useful completeness.
