Because none of my facilities (including my desktops) are set up to
use IPv6.
You'd be surprised.
These days, many modern Linux distributions -- and even crap like
Windows and OS X -- will setup a link-local IPv6 address automatically
in the default configuration.
So, if you really do hate IPv6, you'll have to work quite hard to
completely turn it off on all your facilities :-)
