Because IPv4 is much more prevalent at present, what means less
unnecessary traffic and a slightly better performance on most of the
cases. We can always change the default in the future (when IPv6 is more
prevalent) as such "preference" is just an optimization.
Also, I should soon have a patch to allow the user to configure this
lookup behavior if he/she wants it.
