Because IPv6 WG is not for addressing. IPv6 is not 'IPv4 with bigger
address space'.

I have no objection to *this* statement, so I'd expect that all
discussions related to IPv[4,6] address policy are happening in this
mailing list,
while IPv6 WG discusses technical aspects of IPv6 deployment.

Exactly.

I strongly disagree.
Shall I read it as a proposal to shut down IPv6 WG as well? I'd object
to say the least.
There are a lot of topics to discuss on IPv6 WG which do not belong to
address policy.
Anyway, I'm surprised to see a discussion about shutting down a
mailing list happening in *another* mailing list.
If community feels like 'there is nothing to discuss in IPv6 WG
mailing list anymore' (which does not seem to be a case as I can see
from the replies to your message), it should be discussed there.

I'm adding ipv6-wg@ to Cc: so people are aware of this discussion,
however from my point of view we've seen enough support to keep IPv6
list untouched.
