I think that is even worse. When ever we patch those binaries they will
be overwritten on these systems.

If someone is using them and they do not cause any issues then we can
enable IPv6. Having out-of-tree packages is really pain.

I am also okay with compiling in IPv6 support for the other things I
mentioned. There are only bugs to fix first before we can do that.
Disabling IPv6 is more of a workaround than a solution for the issues.
