I’m suggesting the other way around, making sure that IPv6 always get the preference by making HE to allow IPv6 even if is much slower than IPv4 … because IPv4 is going to be turned down.

I’ve described this in a recent email related to the HE-update document (so you could use some of the text that I mention in that email): Please be careful about this (for problem 6): I've already seen people advising to "just disable IPv6 to get a speed boost." If the timeout is going to slow down to several seconds, this may make more people switch to using IPv4 only, which would be the complete opposite of the objective. Sure, you also consider making this setting a knob, but people may go the easiest already known way, because "well, who cares about IPv6 anyway?" Then, all this depends on the proportion of the internet that is already quickly IPv6-reachable, but if there is a problem to solve, it can only be solved by making IPv4 slower when IPv6 is enabled... which sounds like a bad idea to me so long as IPv4's sunset (or IPv6's rise?) isn't complete yet (at which point this solution is no longer needed anyway).
