	I really don't understand this wish people have to turn off
	IPv6.  The world is running out of IPv4 addresses.  IPv6
	will be required within a year or two.  Now is the time to
	make sure every piece of software you use that requires IP
	connectivity supports IPv6.  In 2-3 years time it will be
	too late as you won't have the option to fall back to IPv4.

	IPv6 connectivity is available to everyone today if they
	wish it.  You don't have to wait for you ISP to supply it.

	What I want to see is a knob that turns off all IPv4 support
	so I can find the missing pieces easily.
