Comment (by donn):
I don't think anyone's talking about removing IPv6 addresses.
This ticket conversation has a couple of branches. Ticket sorting is one
of them, and as far as I'm concerned that's between you and Korli and
whoever else cares.
The parent branch, if I understand right, is about returning IPv6
addresses when the host can't use them.
The branch that led to the "ipv4" patch is about '''asking''' for IPv6
addresses, when the DNS service doesn't respond to such requests. That
was happening to me, and others, with WebPositive in particular because it
apparently used AF_UNSPEC, leading to extremely slow response due to a lot
of DNS timeouts.
