Your approach is interesting, but I'm not sure I like the idea of adding a
new semantic to the defaults file.

Would you consider instead modifying network6_interface_setup in
network.subr to not automatically configure a plip interface if
ipv6_ifconfig_plipN is unset or null? That would accomplish the same thing,
but it would be behind the scenes.

Doug
