Hi,

> Is anyone disabling CONFIG_IPV6 ?

no.

> Do people agree we can drop CONFIG_IPV6 ?

yes.

> Should we do this before we branch 22.x ?

yes please. I am tired of sprinkling ifdefs, maintaining separate package
build flavors, conditional dependency forests and runtime checks for IPv6
presence everywhere.

Even if it is decided to leave CONFIG_IPV6 in place I'll probably stop
respecing it for things like uhttpd, rpcd, LuCI etc. soon since I consider
builds with CONFIG_IPV6=n to be an unsupported configuration.
