   Admittedly, when it comes to IPv6, I still live maybe even more than a decade   
   ago, when that was a good idea. Had other things to do in between. But I   
   agree, that the practice is now different, particularly since nowadays the OS   
   actually takes better care about the Ipv6 connection state.    
      
   Switching this is basically easy. I will do that. However, also implementing a   
   fallback would take longer and just made it to the end of the list.
