I added the knob to encourage people putting more stuff under it. Making it finer grained did not seem to be a good idea at the time. For that we do have individual kernel options. If you are saying that I should add an extra layer of #ifdef under EXPERIMENTAL such as #ifdef EXP_IPV6_ONLY_FLAG, adding such a kernel option seems plausible though a pain when this either goes away entirely or becomes mainline and in either case would not be under an extra option. /bz
