Comment (by pulkomandy):

 There is no need to completely remove the IPv6 addresses (and if the
 application asked for AF_UNSPEC, I think it is even wrong to do so).
 However, we should make sure the IPv4 addresses are returned first when
 they are routable. The RFC specifies how this should be done, so all
 systems implementing it behave in the same way.
