No, of course not. I never said that everybody should have IPv6 active. What I did say is that it should be possible for an experienced user to activate it if they want to and that it's not only possible, it's easy if you're using Network Manager. And, to respond to something later in your post, I did not, in fact, disable IPv6; I simply declined to enable it, which is completely different. (And, I think, the default.)

AFAIK all recent Windows releases and Linux distros have IPv6 enabled by default. Complete with auto-configuration, default MAC-based global addresses, route discovery and other "ease of use", but potentialy dangerous, features enabled.

I have not checked Fedora 19 yet.  Didi it changed anything?
