It's unfortunately how users get told to turn off ipv6.
There were some back-compat issues with how GLIBC emitted DNS requests a few months ago that required turning off ipv6 completely otherwise DNS requests would timeout.
Sticking an ipv6.ko module load disable into /etc/modprobe.conf was the only tenable workaround.
