I decided to do a test and add ipv6.disable=1 to the kernel parameter on one of my VM's.  In the past, this was sufficient.  However, doing only this now results in selinux errors.  To avoid those you also need to add
"net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1" to /etc/sysctl.conf.

Remember that V6 is some option you do NOT have the option to ignore. And that strange quirks could be solved by "net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1"
Some countries make haste implementing it, while others don't.

I was expecting that it would be countries like CN and CU where visitors would be confronted with an IPv6-only situation.
However, last February I found out that our appliance didn't work, because of IPv6-only. Here, in Europe, just some miles away in Belgium, Brussels.
So you better get your head out of the sand.
