Indeed, it will definitely enable IPv6 per default. If you have a Xserve
setup and are booting Mac's from there it will even boot them over IPv6 ;)

As for the Safari thing, I got a note saying that 'for quite some time
it has already been reversed', aka Safari does IPv6 per default, out of
the box now. You just have to give it connectivity: aka plug it in a
IPv6 enabled Ethernet or enable 6to4 from the control panel, or run
AICCU of course ;)

Thanks to Steve! :)

Greets,
