I personally have been using a customized kernel configuration file for 25 years or more and I have no intention of changing it. Just because INET6 shows up in all the boilerplate config files doesn't change the fact that INET6 is still an option.
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. --
