Of course IPv6 is routed. It is not NATted, however.

No, it doesn't.

Private networks in IPv6 are different than in IPv4, however,
and the term "private" is not used in exactly same way.

You can have it. As secure and as isolated as you want.

You seem to be confused about what "routing" means.

Private networks are specifically *not* routable
in the global Internet; that's what makes them private.
(They're of course still routable in their own intranet.)

IPCop should eventually support IPv6 with all bells and whistles, period.
It may be debated how urgent that is, but it's ultimate need is
really not debatable. And I think it's getting urgent pretty soon.
