Thanks to an off-list hint from a Brocade contact after a list member 
helpfully forwarded my message, I was told to look out for something real 
soon now, and sure enough on the knowledgebase now v7.3.00 for 
FCX/FSX/etc/etc is released and contains lots of IPv6 features; as usual 
check the release notes for the details.

Also worth mentioning, in relation to the other recent thread about 
configuring lots of VLANs at once, is the newish "Multi-range VLAN" 
feature "allows you to use a single command to create and configure 
multiple VLANs.", which appeared in v7.02.02.  The example is:

  vlan 16 17 20 to 24
  ta e 1/1/1
