   No, it isn't. It's new and shiny (yet harmless) bug, which made it's way 
into the RELENG_6 with the following commit:

ume         2006-10-16 15:09:24 UTC

   FreeBSD src repository

   Modified files:        (Branch: RELENG_6)
     etc/rc.d             auto_linklocal
     sys/netinet6         in6_ifattach.c
   Log:
   MFC: Revert the default value of net.inet6.ip6.auto_linklocal to 1.
   If ipv6_enable is not set to "YES", net.inet6.ip6.auto_linklocal
   is turned to 0 at boot.

and this is the result of the /etc/rc.d/auto_linklocal execution on
IPv6-less kernel.


Sincerely, Dmitry
