   | That's a totally different issue.
 
 Yes, understood and agreed.   That's why that was just a postscript
 added on to the end of the real message.
 
   | Please create a new PR for it because there really is no right way of 
   | solving this.
 
 If that latter part is correct (depending on just which "this" is in
 question) a PR would be a bit pointless, right?   No point asking for
 changes if there is no way to do it.
 
 (And if "this" was the "my ISP should support IPv6, but doesn't" then
 I agree, there certainly does not appear to be any good solution, as
 most of the ISP's customers have no idea at all what IP is, let alone
 which version does what, or how.)
 
 But if you, or someone really want a PR on the "default v6 route exists
 and causes connection delays when there are no available v6 global addresses"
 issue, then sure, I can do that.   It will take a while while I collect
 some packet traces, etc, and tomorrow I am unlikely to have much time,
 but sometime over the weekend I can do that ... if you really want it.
