CONFIG_IPV6_SCTP__ is always being set to "y" even though
not selected (CONFIG_IPV6 not set)

First, this doesn't do any harm since CONFIG_IPV6_SCTP__ alone doensn't
result in anything getting compiled.
But besides, it seems a bit broken.
>From net/sctp/Kconfig:
<-- snip -->
...
config IPV6_SCTP__
tristate
default y if IPV6=n
default IPV6 if IPV6
config IP_SCTP
tristate "The SCTP Protocol (EXPERIMENTAL)"
depends on IPV6_SCTP__
...

Semantically equivalent is the following for IPV6_SCTP__:
config IPV6_SCTP__
tristate
default y if IPV6=n || IPV6=y
default m if IPV6=m
If it was intended to disallow a static IP_SCTP with a modular IPV6 it
doesn't work: It's perfectly allowed to set IPV6=n and IP_SCTP=y and
later compile and install a modular IPV6 for the same kernel.
Could someone from the SCTP developers comment on the intentions behind
IPV6_SCTP__ ?
