We currently build CONFIG_IPV6=m. This seems to be not really well-supported in mainline kernels - see https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20201115224509.2020651-1-flokli@flokli.de/T/#u Compiling it as a module doesn't give too much benefit - even for people who did explicitly set `enableIPv6` to false, the `ipv6` module was still loaded, as soon as another module was loaded that requires it (bridge,br_netfilter,wireguard,ip6table_mangle,sctp,…). By compiling it in, we only loose the possibility to not add it to `boot.kernelModules` anymore (as it's part of the kernel directly). The space savings are negligible. People wanting to disable IPv6 still get the appropriate sysctls and options set (while having the kernel code loaded), nothing is really changing here. |
