That is an interesting proposal, but I think this one needs a bit more thought. I suppose this is different from choosing to build only the v4 protocol daemons. pkgsrc does have an inet6 option (on by default of course) to cause packages not to do v6. I will ask the netbsd folks; netbsd of course has had v6 for a really long time, more than 15 years, but some of them may have some useful opinions.
