This one is interesting.  From how I know Nagios, its just mysql,
apache and perl.  I would never have guessed in 100 years Nagios would
have issues with IPv6.  Do you mind sharing how you found it was
having issues with IPv6.  That would be a very handy information to
keep in mind going forward.

Some none open source stuff will never work. For example games that
are no longer bringing revenue or print drivers for printers that are
no longer selling.  If we have to wait for those to be ready, we may
as well explicitly say migration is never going to happen. Either they
are set up again using open source code or they will need to be
disposed.
