Yes, it looks that way on a second reading.
Always so many ways to say I do not want a feature.
So...
* Change inet_{ntop,pton}.c to define based on some ip-family-feature
* Split DTLSUDPDomain
* udpEndPointTable: make the support of the various UDP/* features
* mibII: ipv6 defaults to on. make it possible to disable based on
ipv4/ipv6/...
* snmp_transport: sockaddr_storage is a wart...
* data_access/*.h: Lots of static buffers that get bigger with ipv6.
One could imagine dynamic sizes but I have to take a better look at
the code.
* snmpnetstat: Formatting is affected

Yes, you are right, there was sadly a tad more that had to be done.
