As it is right now net.ipv6.conf.all.* are mostly ignored and instead
we're only making decisions based on interface specific settings. These

or default settings have no effect.

Although this is the right idea conceptually, it risks creating unhappy
users because it changes the semantics of the API. This will probably break
somebody's configuration.
