after long discussion with many...
ifconfig <if> inet6 used to print all inet6 addresses, and last not least the installer relies on that behaviour. so don't. to turn inet6 on again you have to assign any inet6 address or run rtsol. nobody happy about this asymmetry, but that is the best we could come up with for now.
