My main problem is that I configure IPv4 and I explicitly have IPv6
turned off (or so it appears in the interface), yet I still have IPv6
loaded and used.  This causes annoying warnings from programs trying to
use an unconfigured IPv6 interface.

If I don't configure IPv4, the interface isn't configured; why is it
that way with IPv6?  If I don't configure anything for IPv6, it is still
loaded.

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
