>Description:
As stated in /etc/defaults/rc.conf...

### IPv6 options: ###
ipv6_network_interfaces="auto"  # List of IPv6 network interfaces
                                # (or "auto" or "none").

So, the only accepted values are auto and none.

This doesn't make sense though when used in routing_stop_inet6 though:

routing_stop_inet6()
{
        local i

        route -n flush -inet6
        for i in ${ipv6_network_interfaces}; do
               ifconfig $i inet6 -defaultif
        done
}

Currently it's cosmetic noise, for the most part, but this also doesn't remove the default interface value either properly.
