There are still occasionally Linux-v-something-else arguments and in principle is a good place to tell people to take those to. In practice

I don't have any problem with it enabled.

I think I had some issue years ago, bu I have forgotten about it.

that's how it's supposed to work. On the Internet Exchance Points, the
majority of traffic is IPv6 in these days.

It is my ISP who has a problem. They haven't said which, but my educated
guess is that many of the routers they installed are faulty. For
example, mine does not protect the LAN with a firewall on IPv6, all
machines are directly exposed.

Thus, after the beta, there is nothing known about when actual
deployment will happen.

I would only expect firewall functionality on a device that claims to
be a firewall. That being said, such functionality is vitally
important for an end user network.

Can you disable IPv6 on the router? That would be easier than doing so
on every device on the network, and also easier to revert should the
IPv6 support of your ISP become useable at some future point in time.
