I've always thought inet6 stuff was needed by some internal processes
even if not explicitly enabled. i tried ages ago disabling it all and various
things broke inexplicably, even though I wasn't using it and it wasn't
allowed at the firewall. So, it's like an option, from what I can gather,
but a compulsory one ;)

I think I'd consider disabling it again if i were making something like
nanobsd.
