Agreed. And I only recommend rebuilding the kernel, one of my motivations for that is besides not needing the v6 on a log of stuff is it reduces both wasted code size, and some security concerns. > And god only knows how much will break once I've done that.

I also agree here, running a WITHOUT_IPV6 userland is both very painful to get built AND has issues that one does not need to face, like I showed in another thread about netstat -6. > But this is all besides the point anyway.
