I can understand that stance.

Simon: I'd suggest you quietly change com_gamename to "Quake3Arena" for
OpenArena for the time being. It doesn't really matter whether getserversExt
works with ipv6 in these early stages. You didn't even know it doesn't until I
told you. At least for ipv4 play the master server will work.
Once OpenArena updates to our revision this problem will go away by itself
hopefully. You should try and get these changes integrated upstream at their
place. But with the current state of affairs, OpenArena probably would have
never worked together with ipv6 anyways.
