I think we should fix the underlying issue that triggered the addition
of that stupid dependency instead of just including ipv6 by default.
The bridge code only needs a few simple functions from the IPv6 stack
which could easily be made available without including full support.
Why not adding the bridge support as kernel modules if ipv6 is enabled
by default?
Because that doesn't solve the issue. Then the bridge module would still
depend on the ipv6 module, if the ipv6 module was compiled, which
results in exactly the same problem as before for the release builds.
