I've already worked around this problem, thank you very much. Most end users are *not* IT pros to even understand what's wrong with their systems: they rightfully presume that Ubuntu sucks/doesn't work on their PCs not because it inherently sucks or it's unusable but because you insist on the things which might not work as you believe they should and everything goes tits up.
You see, guys, you all speak like lunatics: I tell you that Ubuntu/Debian should not default to IPv6 ever - you say fix your systems. I tell you that sane timeouts should be introduced - you say fix your systems. I tell you that you're breaking various RFCs by having insane defaults - you say fix your systems. I've even given you a perfect reproducible bug report: run Ubuntu on a system which has an IPv6 address but lacks a an IPv6 route and you still insist that the world should bend over for you. It will not. A sane OS should not assume anything. Your ends users must not lose their shit over the things you decided for them and for the entire world. And while we're arguing you still actively choose to neglect the stackexchange topic which clearly indicates that you're doing something wrong for a *ton* of your users. Please don't bother any more. Your attitude towards making Ubuntu (and Debian, since I'm perfectly sure this bug applies to Debian as well) usable in real world use cases is perfectly clear - you don't give a flying f-word. You'll resort to blaming the user, the world, the position of the stars above one's head but you won't admit that something might not be suitable for common use cases your users are facing every freaking day. This bug report according to you is invalid. So be it. Let Ubuntu users google. After all it won't be a true Linux distro without a lot of tinkering.
