Well, that seemed to be the general tone (disable *by default*). But I
forgot the winky, sorry.

Adding an option to disable it would be good. I'd use it myself, until
IPv6 is actually supported by the network I'm on (it isn't). I just
wouldn't have argued for "by default" by any means. If it's enabled,
then when ISPs (and hardware, corporate networks ...) actually support
it en masse, Fedora installs are, well, ready. :)
