[dcc2] Is DCC2 Dead?

[Dan Smith]

Hi,

I think we are pretty much near the end of the drafting for the connection 
negotiation.  I am just waiting to hear back about the final notes i sent 
out.

http://six.pairlist.net/pipermail/dcc2/2004-September/000274.html

After we've talked about those, I think we will have a pretty solid idea of 
what will be in the final draft.  ipv6 is coming out pretty slowly, so i 
know this draft isn't the first thought on many of our minds, but I agree 
we should finalize the draft so we can be ready with implementations in our 
clients.

Cheers!
Dan
