Do I need any part of Avahi at all?

[Peter Silva]

one person's anecdote:

I've been running that way for years... removing avahi whenever it showed
up. It's a different (supposedly easier/self/autoconfiguring) way of doing
the same thing, but if you're handy with dns and dhcp, then there is very
little value in avahi.

a lot of people group Avahi with ipv6, I don't really get why... I just ran
bind and dhcp supporting dual stack for about five years, until my ISP
ended their beta program and backed out of IPv6 entirely. It was fine the
whole time.
