I'm rather dismayed at firewalling and IPv6, even just within packet
filters, because there seems to be little understandng (as yet) of
what IPv6 does and can do, along with the security implications of
that.  What extension headers need to be blocked ?  What ones are
safe to allow ?  What are the risks with each of these ?

Are you asking because it is within scope, asking whether or not
it should be included in the scope or something else ?
