It would be very desirable to modify the non-6 tools to have transparent IPv6 
support. After that happens, I don’t think removing the -6 tools and possibly 
breaking scripts will really help anything; perhaps it would make sense to move 
them out of the default install, but doing any more work with the only possible 
effect something being broken is not that attractive ☺
