It's 2008. Should we enable IPv6 support by default in libpcap and tcpdump (as long as the OS supports IPv6 to a sufficient extent that we can compile the support in), and let users do "--disable-ipv6" if, for whatever reason, they don't want it?
I would certainly appreciate that. What is the reason for having optional IPv6 in the first place (besides OSes that don't provide all necessary header files)?
