Okay, I don't think there was a consensus on this issue, so I'm sure to make someone unhappy. I think for now, we'll leave the status quo, ie ipv6 off by default. If it had been a question of whether or not ipv6 would be included in hardened, then the issue would have been obvious. We must have ipv6. But the question was, do we enable or disable it *by default*. Those that wish can always switch it on so nothing is ultimately lost. The question came up because of the latest news about ipv4 address space being depleted, so we know ipv6 is coming. When ipv6 use becomes significant, we'll revisit the issue.
