it's extremely ill-advised to ship products that have IPv6 support enabled by
default. This is one of the many reasons for this.
I would argue the opposite; people won't turn it on otherwise, due to lack of
knowledge or negligence. What I would also argue is that the API that opens a
session should try all available address pairs in relatively short order - on
the order of tens of milliseconds between new attempts - keeping in some
scratchpad memory notes on what worked, and trying those first on a subsequent
access to the same name. If IPv4 addresses are what work, so be it.
Happy Eyeballs...
