I think all know modular kernel advantages over modules fixly compiled into, thus I cannot understand why ipv6 should be exception. And about some dependencies - from F15 new systemd should perhaps serve all dependencies much better and easily, it's true?
Download the kernel source and rebuild if it really bugs you on memory.
You mean it seriously? Of course, it is way... But switch to another distro is in some cases more easier.
is this so? and you are 100% sure that in the next release there will not happen the same?
so why do you simply not calm down and add "ipv6.disable=1" to your kernel-parameters so you will not notice anything about ipv6 after the next boot?
Yes, I have it (as You wrote, on kernel cmdline - as having it in sysctl.conf seems not enough). But this nothing change on fact that 1) I have unwanted things included in kernel, and 2) something (NetworkManager or other malware;) can easily activate it. As module, I can better control how use it and save memory too (although when ipv6 stack is disabled entirely, memory requirements may be lower - I not study about this).
