The only point that I was driving at is that I think an implication of saying the default should be 0 is that we're asking the kFreeBSD porters to change their default as well, and we should probably ensure that they're aware of the decision and the reasoning. > Of course, this calls for changing the default on kBSD - but this is the > second step IMHO, not the first step.

If we're taking that approach, we should be very explicit here: >>> Having said this, I would like to call for an vote with the options >>> A set net.ipv6.bindv6only to 0 >>> B set net.ipv6.bindv6only to 1 >>> C further discussion that we're only talking about the Linux kernel Debian architectures. > Hm.

I'm certainly fine with us making a decision that was delegated to us. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
