Johann. why exactly do you want ipv6 disabled?
Majority of user are not using it, it's wasting time and resources,
faster boot time.
When I turn things "off" or disable them programs should not be wasting
time and resources
to be running an constantly listening or checking and wondering if they
are gonna receive "instruction" to process and further instruct
a program that I have already disabled.
In all fairness...
put "install ipv6 /bin/true" in modprobe.conf, then run "chkconfig
ip6tables off" and that's it - after a reboot, you're IPv6 free...
This is just not worth changing defaults over. IPv6 is the future
(whether you like it or not), so lets just leave it there to be as ready
as possible when the ship sails. I haven't swithced to IPv6 either, but
it takes less that 30 secs to disable it on a newly installed system. 30
secs that I can easily spare on this. If you do mass installations.
Letting kickstart implement these changes will add 0 seconds to the
install time.
