So shouldn't those disrespecting parts of userland be fixed?
I know that IPv6 is our future (or "our all" as they say sometimes in this part of
the world), but this should not be an excuse for the violations until we
decide/state that WITHOUT_INET6 is no longer supported.

Besides, returning to the original post, those messages weren't there just a few
days ago, this is a new addition.
