Do you plan add similar support for IPv6? There is ICMP6_PACKET_TOO_BIG with the same meaning. But actually it is not unreach message, thus I'm not sure we should do it.

No, I don't plan. Indeed it requires some rethinking of unreach6 action, so that it is able to send not only ICMP6_DST_UNREACH, but other ICMP messages. So for IPv6 the change is possible, but more complicated. I'd better leave it for somebody else :)
