That will not remain true for much longer.
Surprise. Any network you access doesn't need to support IPv6 for
link-local to work and expose your system to everyone else on the same
link (subnet). Any network you access won't need to support IPv6 for
Teredo to work and expose your system to the entire internet at large,
in spite of most NAT or network edge firewalls that are in place.
Besides, this isn't Valent Linux. The defaults should be what is
appropriate for the majority of Fedora users. On by default firewalls
that block all inbound network services are appropriate, as you
suggested earlier. That must include IPv6.
