ipv6_ifconfig_<ifname> vs ifconfig_<ifname>_ipv6

Hi,

It seems that in 9.x the preferred way of configuring an IPv6 enabled
interface have been changed from ipv6_ifconfig_<ifname> to
ifconfig_<ifname>_ipv6, and there is no corresponding way of configuring
aliases as they are merged into ifconfig_<ifname>_alias<X>.

Will ipv6_ifconfig_<ifname> and _alias be removed in 10, or they would
stay for a while?  This would need some changes in third party software
like FreeNAS and ifconfig_<ifname>_ipv6 is not yet supported in 8.x I think.

Cheers,
