The only issue I've faced is RHEL/CentOS doesn't have stateful connection
tracking for IPv6 - so ip6tables is practically worthless.

Hmmmm. Interesting. I wonder if this is specific to the RedHat 
kernel?

I've worked around it by compiling custom (newer) Kernels on systems that need
it.  Apparently support was added some time around 2.6.20, but of course RHEL5
is still in the dark ages of 2.6.18.
