Ummm, because it's compiled as a module so you are free to not

To prevent the autoloading, run the command:
echo "NETWORKING_IPV6=no" >> /etc/sysconfig/network
The scripts look like they try to do that, but it doesn't actually work.
With "NETWORKING_IPV6=no" in /etc/sysconfig/network, the IPv6 module still
autoloads and link-local addresses are still automagically assigned.
I've not yet had time to investigate and see why it's not working.
