The inconsistency should be fixed.
Sure, but it may be worth noting that the default is actually
platform and compile-time configuration dependent.
I finally got around to this, or rather to the half that didn't have a
mention of NO_IPV6. While there, I noticed a stray uppercase letter
elsewhere (2x) and fixed that as well. Patch (generated from
postfix-3.8-20220421) attached.
