I wanted to stress that people like you (or me, or almost everybody reading)
often do not use GENERIC kernels and whatever is in GENERIC has little
impact on us.

You may disable IPv6 as you may disable^Wenable IPSEC if that's what you
need.

However, GENERIC is what gets installed initially, what might be the
only choice for some people and is necessarily the first choice for
newcomers. Having IPSEC there is worthwhile even when it spoils
benchmarks.
