Great, so lets put said OpenBSD behind one of many cheap CPE that drops or otherwise screws up DNS AAAA query packets. I fail to see how not having a default v6 route saves you from waiting for the DNS query timeout (remember the DNS AAAA request will be sent over IPv4). > I do not see why mandating different is productive for a future of v6 > deployment. Because it avoids lengthy time outs when AAAA DNS breaks. Without this hack, more people will be annoyed by the dual stack nature of their OS and learn to disable IPv6 *completely*.
