Interesting... so if snmpd is started with udp6, it will receive packets
addressed to an IPv4 address (a.b.c.d)? Or just an IPv6 format IPv4 address
(::fff:a.b.c)?

It is certainly debatable.  We'll have to wait and see what the everyone else
thinks.

This should be disabled by default, as it is in the ipv4 udp transport.
