I don't think so, it is nearly same as current F10 vnc.

No, it doesn't work now because server is not IPv6 capable.

Well, building of server is not so easy. I built rpms for F10, you can
download them from
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1124252.

Note that if you want to use "Tight" encoding and compression you have
to start viewer with "-PreferredEncoding Tight" parameter.
