I think you meant "insecure" being the default, and yes, I'm hoping these
help you, among other things it makes easier...

It's an interim solution, however, the way we put event/text back in will be
significantly different from the way it is now. We'll have to see how that
impacts what you guys are doing, but I suspect it will help, not hurt ipv6
work.

We haven't set a time yet, there's a substantial amount of work to do; we're
shooting for spring, but I can't honestly say if that'll be early or late
spring with any confidence at all. Sorry about that.
