Well, I do consider myself an IPv6 enthusiast. Probably not a zealot;
I'm not one for zealotry myself... :)

Well, I think -inet6 would be a good default, but I think there's more
to it. Enabling net.inet6.ip6.accept_rtadv should still get me a
link-local address (and, if router advertisements are present on the
local network, an autoconfigured (autoconfprivacy) address too). But
if I have multiple interfaces and configure my system for SLAAC, what
should happen? To me, it seems that accept_rtadv should be a
per-interface thing.
Anyway, I believe at least -inet6 is a better default than the current
situation.
