Can we discuss the possibility of enabling IPv6 by default now during build. I think enough of the world now NEED IPv6 so people should all be building their Python with it.

Checking for IPv6 *is* enabled by default and has been for quite some time:

$ ./configure
[...]
checking if --enable-ipv6 is specified... yes
checking if RFC2553 API is available... yes
checking ipv6 stack type... kame
[...]
