GNU/Linux has total IPv6 capabilities but this is also fully

Since I operate a standalone workstation that is only connected
to the Internet via Comcast, my system and software configuration
only includes IPv4. (My local network certainly does not require
it.)
IOW, I don't need IPv6 and therefore I exclude it.
Does anybody use or need IPv6?
Due to IPv4 address shortages IPv4 addresses get recycled a lot. And with recycling comes the reputation of the previous user. Including blacklisting and outdated GEOIP Info.
Consequently I avoid using IPv4 as much as I can.
I suppose that since the vast majority of GNU/Linux users depend
on a distro and that since most distros automatically enable
IPv6 the answer is that most users have IPv6 enabled whether they
need it or not.
