I know there was a debate about this on the gentoo-hardened list
recently, but my opinion is that one needs to start "enabling" (as in
it's installed/compiled in) IPV6 code on all systems ASAP and start
flushing out problems.  That said I think it's also fair to lock
down/disable/minimise your use of the IPV6 to whatever is appropriate to
your environment/requirements, but having the code there, compiled into
production systems and starting to test it would seem to be very prudent
right now?

Just add USE="+ipv6" to your make.conf, "emerge --newuse -uvDkp world"
and off you go...

Good luck
