I've always thought inet6 stuff was needed by some internal processes even if not explicitly enabled. i tried ages ago disabling it all and various things broke inexplicably, even though I wasn't using it and it wasn't allowed at the firewall. So, it's like an option, from what I can gather, but a compulsory one ;) I think I'd consider disabling it again if i were making something like nanobsd. --
