No, not yet.  And it's to late to start on it for 5.6, unfortunately.

That may be true too, and is a good topic for an admin meeting.

However, we have been following the real meat of it: we have to get
people to agree on applying changes.  We've followed that very will this
time.  The problem is we need to stop voting positively on changes if we
want the release out the door, or to feel comfortable with the changes
to let the release go forward anyway.

In this case, the change to configure *only* affects people that have
tried to enable v6.  And without it they actually won't get what they
asked for.  And if it fails to compile because of broken v6, then they
need to turn off the enable switch.

(the whole section of code is within 'test "x$enable_ipv6" = "xyes"')
