 True. But:
 - These lines shouldn't be there (why is a transport defined of which my build 
environment
 knows that it won't work because I explicitely turned it off?) And even worse, 
why TF are
 the *6 transports first, which mean they are preferred, in a mostly !*6 
world(even disregarding
 any build options)??
 - netconfig(5) is not xref'ed from either rpc or rpcbind. Netconfig(5) though 
says that
 rpcbind is the only client so could that please be referenced? (additionally 
to the
 ref of rpc(3) which also mentions the file explicitely.)
 
 Thanks!
