I completely agree. All your arguments are completely valid. The
problem is that running Android phones in mesh mode requires root
access and for older versions of Android that is much easier to obtain
(as there have be more methods devised). If we limit ourselves just to
versions where IPv6 is available we are limiting ourselves even more.

But now I remembered. We could ship our own IPv6 kernel module with an app. ;-)
