With proposed patches from a SUSE engineer, the IPv6 networking stack would be limited to being a kernel built-in or not at all. In doing away with IPv6 as a loadable kernel module would allow simplifying some code and lowering the Linux networking maintenance bu… https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-IPv6-Built-In-Or-Nothing
