I think that interface programmers should think whether their public interfaces might be needed from the modules and export symbols accordingly.
Yes, but only when actually used.
The ipv4 counterparts are exported because, lo' and behold, ipv6 makes use of them.
Let's wait until your work is integrated into the kernel tree, or some other similar project, which makes use of these symbols. That is the appropriate time at which to decide what we export for modules.
