So one thing I would suggest is testing ipv6 only environments.  At
Facebook we are running into and fixing a whole host of problems with
NetworkManager, Anaconda, Dracut, etc. because they don't handle ipv6
only very well.  It seems that having ipv4 enabled allows things to
work well enough that nobody notices problems with ipv6.  Thanks,

Josef
