What it boils down to for me, is a question of time. Do I have time to
look into ipv6 now I know I don't need it? No, because my interest at
this moment lies in building and configuring software, from a real-time
pre-emption patched kernel upwards, for audio production on a stripped
down debian-testing system. Not the recommended way of doing it, but
it's what I sacrifice my goats for.
