A default install of Docker Engine will have its IPv6 support disabled in `/etc/docker/daemon.json`. You may still want your machine to handle incoming IPv6 traffic. If your machine truly doesn't use IPv6 feel free to leave this at `false`. Otherwise `update-firewall-source.py` generates unused rules that clutter your rule set. If this is `true` IPv6 addresses found or resolved in `addr` in a `[section]` will be discarded.
