I'm writing from 2019 and I build kernel and ports without IPv6. For all
this years I fail to understand why I need it.
My home devices fit 10.0.0.0/16 nicely, I have faith in NAT and I
encountered no IPv6-only sites.
But I saw CVEs in IPv6 stack.
Plenty of FreeBSD things are ipv6 only in the FreeBSD cluster. In particular if
you do look at the build machines in the cluster, no ipv6 will mean no access to
the build log in case of failures.
I agree I don't see the reason why we should keep that ipv6 option. When off
this option does not bring much value to the users as the code for apps to
support ipv6 mostly reside in the libc. Actually that was my intent in 2012 to
first turn it on by default everywhere and then drop the option entirely.
Are you going to keep IPv6 kernel option? If off and ports can detect
ipv6 availability in
runtime, I don't see problem at all.
