You're being somewhat disingeneous here, Ted.
We're arguing that information about IPv4 availability should not be
carried by IPv6 RAs, since it avoids a number of very unpleasant
incestuous interactions. That is most certainly a "technical" argument,
however you care to define this particular term.
Keeping the two stacks cleanly separated has a number of practical
("technical"?) advantages:
- in modular operating systems (not only Linux), this avoids dodgy
interactions between separate daemons;
- administrators can debug IPv4 issues without having to delve into
the IPv6 configuration, and vice versa;
- once (if?) IPv4 is phased out, we won't need to carry obsolete
IPv4-related options within the IPv6 protocols.
