I don't think this would be a good idea. Even with IPv6 gaining
popularity, I see IPv4 in LAN installations for a long time.

And no, I don't consider WinXP obsolete - it has still a lot of live
left for lab machines used for programming/debugging hardware (not for
web browsing obviously), so dropping support for these might be bad.
