I should have said "some people dislike it," but I beleive you're
one, or more than one, of them. :-)
IMHO, we should enable ipv4-mapped address support by default
for RFC compliance. And bind(2) with both of ipv4 and ipv6
should be accepted if IPV6_V6ONLY has been set to ipv6 socket
for compatibility with application already, wildly being used
on Linux Systems.
Note: This is not standarized and not implemented even in USAGI
kernels, but I believe it is reasonable and acceptable.
I'd like to talk about this issue with itojun, jinmei and others.
In IETF?
