Ok, so it only is for GCE and nothing else then and in the plugin for GCE?
Well, that is unfortunate but a useful solution then.

I think some of the other cloud environments also lack support for IPv6; the same setting would make sense there as well.

Ok, good to know, as IPv6 is important for me.

I value IPv6 as well; a personal server of mine has it, as does my mobile phone. :)

Would be good to know what software and what problem it was, if you
have time to look it up, and if not just ignore it. Just curious. ;-)

Noted. I might follow up during a workweek once I've had a chance to look it up.
