When I stop messing with it! I don't know when that will be :)

[socket2] will take a new -protocol option soon to request/restrict what type of
socket. such as ipv6, ipv4, spx or irda and many others. I haven't finished it,
but will be added sometime in the future. A multi protocol name resolver is
another feature I'll add as well.

When things change in the interface, they won't change much.

    ... This is an advance warning that, late next week, I will be merging a fairly large set of changes to the IPv4 and IPv6 protocols layered over the inpcb/inpcbinfo kernel infrastructure. ... These structures represent, respectively, particular sockets and the global socket lists for all socket types in IPv4 and IPv6 except for SCTP. ... This is possible because, in the common case, no connection or global state is modified during UDP/raw receive and transmit at the IP layer, so a read lock is sufficient to prevent data in those structures from unexpectedly changing. ...
