Cool!

I am going to start fiddling with this release over the next quarter as well.

* Would anyone care for udplite support? Adding it is easy (mostly
done already), but there isn't a whole lot of point (aside from my
research into what protocols can be carried end to end in the ipv6
era).

* There MAY be some linux kernel work into a better virtual tunneling
device coming up.

* I am pretty hot on the "add fq and codel" to a vpn daemon idea, is
anyone else interested in pursuing that with me?
