If you want more than one socket I see no reason not to support n>1 sockets,
and give users the choice of using more than one --listen-host as well. But
this is not what my posts has been about.

My suggestion, like the the poster in May, was quite simply to have an
option whether or not to use IPv6 as a user option; not to have it
forced upon us with no choice what so ever. Removing IPv6 and leaving
existing IPv6 users in the dark was certainly not in the agenda for
my part.

My quote from an earlier post was to point out that an IPv6 imlementation
for svnserve is not that straightforward if you want to have it portable.
It did not imply any kind of laziness of the implementors of said
functionality. In case, removing IPv6 is out of the question since you'll
have to support it to 2.0, at least ;-)
