(Sending to the list instead of using the wiki talk page to hopefully
gather more information from networking experts.  The recent-ish
bugzilla activity in this space does suggest that this is a good topic
to revisit in detail, thanks for taking the effort on.)

1. So what is the _precise_ scope of the ''proposed feature''?  For
example, does "glibc: name resolution must work properly" mean that
you have some specific proposals to change glibc?

(https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Networking/NameResolution/ADDRCONFIG
suggests changing glibc as one of the options.  Have you decided which
option you propose?  In general, glibc maintainers' signoff or at
least significant discussion would probably be required for any glibc
change of this kind.  FWIW, historically it was recommended to have
AI_ADDRCONFIG enabled, see
http://www.akkadia.org/drepper/userapi-ipv6.html .)

2. We already have a guideline requiring IPv6
(https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines?rd=PackagingGuidelines#Networking_Support
); to the extent that this feature would propose specific ways to use
the API, the packaging guideline should point to documentation that
describes the correct way.  It would be great to get a wide review of
the proposed approach before any extensive effort to modify many
packages starts.
