We will not be removing functionality in order to accomodate YOUR needs.
First of all I'm sick of this attitude Warren. I wasn't asking YOU to
remove IPv6 from the kernel. My question was if I remove it, am I going
to face problems...
I personally don't use 70% of the drivers supplied in the
kernel, or
maybe 40% of the packages in FC, but I realize other people do use and
appreciate it being there.
Yeah again you miss the point.
That being said, Open Source gives you the freedom to customize and
optimize the software to your desires, and nobody can stop you. In most
cases however, it would be off-topic for this list.
Yeah I get how opensource works. That wasn't my question.

This is off-topic for fedora-devel-list, because it does not contribute
anything toward the general improvement of Fedora development. Many
other posts and entire threads on fedora-devel-list lower the signal to
noise ratio, and as a result high level developers have decided to avoid
reading this list entirely. That is a loss to overall communication and
transparency.
Maybe it is because when they ask a legitimate question you send them
away?
As a result, I and other Fedora maintainers will be increasingly
frankly
reminding list membership about proper list usage.
All I asked was if it was safe for me to remove IPv6 from latest test
kernel, I don't see how asking a question about development kernel is
suited for the fedora-list...

Because it is a devel package that you are talking about, then
fedora-test-list is the proper place to discuss it. That list is for
both rawhide and test release discussion.
You just told me in your previous e-mail to use the fedora-list when I
clearly stated I was talking about a development kernel. I can see why
people don't post questions to these lists when all they get is attitude
and a never-ending run around. You don't seem to know where I should
post this question, how am I suppost to?

All I was looking for was a Yes or No not your opinion on everything
except what I actually ask. This could have a been a *2* message
thread...instead you turned into a crapfest by not reading my e-mails
carefully and being rude for me asking a VERY SIMPLE question.
Good Day,
