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

I didn't notice the OP had set a follow up to COLA. Had I
noticed I wouldn't have replied....
COLA is Troll-Land.

Some of us folks are trying to be topical in cola.  Still, it needs
a fairly robust killfile, because it gets a lot of political spam.

(For a while, I was posting build reports in there as new
kernels came out, but there doesn't seem to be much interest.)

One could argue that Linux advocacy isn't all that necessary
anymore, since it has already all but taken over the planet.
(Except for the desktop, of course -- that is still a Windows world.)
