If you see the bug cited earlier current Fedora (19) has a bug where
settings to disable IPv6 are ignored. But IMHO that's a different
question, a simple bug that can (will) be fixed.

IMHO "have to look" should not be required by most users. IPv6 today
serves networing people. Fedora is not only for networking people, and I
from my experience most Fedora users are not networking people. Do we
have data about Fedora user demographics?
