what is the F19 way to disable ipv6?

Given that the 'addresses' presented there are the undefined 'null'
addresses and you are specifically meant to be able to bind to them with no
addresses existing (
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/NetworkTarget/ ... :: and
::1 plus 0.0.0.0 and 127.0.0.1 are defined as unconditionally available)
I'd say that was not a bug at any rate ...

In the event of addresses being added to the interfaces there is no need to
bounce the service to get it to listen on them which would otherwise be the
case...
