Hi everyone,
We visited this issue during the first ipv6 global day and I asked the
masses: do you want ipv6 on by default or not. There was lots of back
and forth and since it was only a question of default, I left the status
quo, which is off by default.
But now the ipv6 pressures mount! Diego has made a good argument that
deploying hardened in an ipv6 only environment is a real pita. You
can't get the goodies you need to bootstrap into an ipv6 only
environment. With the growth in ipv6, I think it is time.
I'm alerting users so that you can make whatever changes you like to
ipv6 in your /etc/make.conf. In about 24 hours I will turn on by
default ipv6 on all hardened profiles.
