How can I revert to the previous (pre-Lucid) behavior?  (I have much
better connectivity through IPv6 than through a painfully NATed IPv4.  I
assume this is fairly typical, in fact.)  Is it just a matter of
uncommenting the following lines in /etc/gai.conf or will this have
undesired side effects?

scopev4 ::ffff:169.254.0.0/112  2
scopev4 ::ffff:127.0.0.0/104    2
scopev4 ::ffff:10.0.0.0/104     5
scopev4 ::ffff:172.16.0.0/108   5
scopev4 ::ffff:192.168.0.0/112  5
scopev4 ::ffff:0.0.0.0/96       14
