Okay, I don't think there was a consensus on this issue, so I'm sure to |
| 7 |
make someone unhappy. I think for now, we'll leave the status quo, ie |
| 8 |
ipv6 off by default. |

If it had been a question of whether or not ipv6 would be included in |
| 11 |
hardened, then the issue would have been obvious. We must have ipv6. |
| 12 |
But the question was, do we enable or disable it *by default*. Those |
| 13 |
that wish can always switch it on so nothing is ultimately lost. |

The question came up because of the latest news about ipv4 address space |
| 16 |
being depleted, so we know ipv6 is coming. When ipv6 use becomes |
| 17 |
significant, we'll revisit the issue. |

(And please don't ask me what significant mean! I'm not even sure myself :) |
