this has notthing to do with ifcfg-files
there is "IPV6INIT=no" since many years on my machines

"ipv6disable=1" is for disable the *entire* ipv6 stack
and a good admin disableds *anything* which is not
in use for security reasons - i have ip4-rules on servers
which are even block 127.0.0.1 for Samba while it is
allowed from specific LAN IP's but not from php-scripts

syslog message at boot:
ipv6: Loaded, but administratively disabled, reboot required to enable

this does currently no longer work and every release
the magic how to achive this is randomly changed
from sysctl to kernel-params, different params or
modprobe-aliases a few years before
