I guess the question is how to count the brokeness. Just because the
setting confuses java (which given how long severe bugs caused by some
terminal ill code in java tend to live, will no change soon, so waiting
for java is not really an option) does not mean that many other programs
do nasty things without it.

I personally would prefer ipv6 to still be a module so it can be
blacklisted or some other way to disable it, but having this option on
by default at least avoids many annoiances in ipv4 world.
