Yep, it doesn't,
I was reading sshd docs on switch -6 and assumed it won't bind, but those
docs assumed, that ipv4 is a subpart of ipv6

however, as long as ipv6 is still experimental, it would be nice to be
able to switch it off from /proc

I.e : to have somewhere a _master switch_ which makes ipv4 and ipv6
separate - then I can test it much easier for little while on production
routers here.
