yeah, i never did fathom why it seems like every linux distro feels
the need to have ipv6 enabled out of the box.  It's always the first
thing I throw out for a custom kernel.

I can think of many reasons NOT to have it enabled, and no good
reasons for it to be enabled by default.

Just seems like they want everyone to play "security guineapig" for a
newfangled protocol.
