Hi everyone, |

We visited this issue during the first ipv6 global day and I asked the |
| 4 |
masses: do you want ipv6 on by default or not. There was lots of back |
| 5 |
and forth and since it was only a question of default, I left the status |
| 6 |
quo, which is off by default. |
| 7 |
|

But now the ipv6 pressures mount! Diego has made a good argument that |
| 9 |
deploying hardened in an ipv6 only environment is a real pita. You |
| 10 |
can't get the goodies you need to bootstrap into an ipv6 only |
| 11 |
environment. With the growth in ipv6, I think it is time. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
I'm alerting users so that you can make whatever changes you like to |
| 14 |
ipv6 in your /etc/make.conf. In about 24 hours I will turn on by |
| 15 |
default ipv6 on all hardened profiles. |
