Good.  The point is that ipv4 consumer devices explicitly
are part of the deal, and cannot be ignored.  Such devices
tend to persist for several generations, and many cannot
be upgraded.  They don't use Fedora shared libraries.
Luckily most of them require only dhcp4 and http-over-tcp+ipv4,
but their actual implementations which work today in Fedora
must continue to work without change for many releases.
For instance, dual stacking must not change the latencies
of dhcp4.
