Perhaps Fedora is the wrong distribution for you. 

The whole idea behind Fedora is for it to be an "engineering proving 
ground" where new technologies (like IPv6) are rolled out for real world 
use.  In the case of IPv6, this includes hopefully providing the tools 
required for users to be able to securely run a Fedora system with IPv6 
enabled.  If there is a problem with the tools provided then the answer is 
to fix the tools and/or provide additional tools; not pull back from a 
technology that IS coming.

Cheers,
Dave
