Jettisoning IPv6 seems like a size-reduction method that is not generally applicable, how is say ds-lite going to work on such a device?
This is fine for the use case of an experienced (of well coached novice) user who understands the consequences, but it does not seem like a generic way to produce smaller images sizes for all users, no?
