>Why make so much trouble for yourself?

I'm not sure what you mean by that. I'm not GP, but I actually have to do more work to disable IPv6 on my systems than to use a dual stack.

As such, please explain what you mean by making "so much trouble for yourself."

    I'm referring to running in a weird v6-only configuration and fighting with software which expects a normal configuration with v4.

      To which software are you referring? I'm not familiar with such code.

        The software which Habgdnv was referring to? Seq being their most recent problematic encounter, but there's apparently more. I don't know the details, you'd have to ask them.

for me, its not really trouble. MY ISP has IPv6 and I have trouble using it.

Also I have lot of small VPS and the cost of the IPv4 address is the highest cost of the price of VPS. removing it reduces the cost by a lot.

    How cheap VPSes are you getting? I've always just used v4 on my $5/month VPSes, never felt the need to think about v6 on them because v4 just works

      Less than $1 per month shared CPU and 1-2GB RAM for most of them. At that price I needs to pay annually.

      Take it to account that I am not from US and even $5 is kind of large amount per month to spend on hobby stuff.
