 Priority:  normal          |   Milestone:  1.1.7    
Component:  Backend-Remote  |     Version:  SVN trunk
 Severity:  normal          |   Blockedby:           
 Platform:  All             |    Blocking:           
----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
 Currently the TCP variant of the remote backend assumes IPv4, as does
 replication (which uses the same networking code).

 Ideally we should work with IPv6 on platforms which support it (which
 should be most modern ones), but still support IPv4 on platforms which
 don't.

 This isn't a hugely high priority though, as the vast majority of remote
 backend users will be using it over local networks.  Also, we haven't had
 any user enquiries about this so far.

 Marking for milestone:1.1.7 for now, though I don't feel strongly that
 this has to be done before 1.2.0.
