Well, having IPv6 addresses attached to those ports can also be undesirable, I really think that those addresses should be allowed with an explicit config not by default. > The patch I sent does not change anything about disabling ipv6 on the > bridge port interface, only for the underlying physical interface for a > VLAN bridge port. I know, but I don't think that is the behaviour change we need. I think we should find a way to say we should not disable them, or a way to enable them if we want, but not by default.
