The are other problems too with forcing ipv6 enabled for everyone.
Some apps arn't prepared well and totally drop ip4 connectivity.

In the short time since the change to build-in ipv6 I had already vino-server (Bug #196675) and gobby (Bug #313393) fail me. I'm sure there are more waiting in the repos.

It's a good thing to bring these issues to light now, but I wouldn't hold my breath for having all of them fixed until release day. There is a real need for beeing able to turn ipv6 off completely and so far there appears to no other reliable way besides having it build as a module.
