IIRC, it allows it to fall back to IPv4 in case it's compiled for IPv6
support but the kernel isn't compiled to support IPv6. If that is the
case, admittedly, you seem to have a point. If someone compiles in v6
support and their system doesn't have v6 support and it's been requested
via run-time config, it's should fail just like any other.
