It really is not worth it.
The desire to disable IPv4 was to clear out any 'confusion' while
getting apps working on IPv6. Since this is a mobile project using HIP,
I plan on using Teredo when on networks not providing native IPv6. So at
some point IPv4 is needed again.
Just an eye-opener that IPv4 is like, forever. At least right now.
But you now, I remember the fights back in the early '90s to get IP into
OSs.
