This is about Michael's (BCC'd) patch from 2013, lost in the space-time
vortex:

the almighty github seems to think this is still mergeable:
https://github.com/erlang/otp/compare/maint...msantos:epmd-IPv6-node-reg
As I can't see anything in the discussion that blocks this, can we have
it back please? IPv6 only is approaching (slightly faster than the heat
death of the universe) and I'd like erlang to be ready too.
I actually ran into this the last couple of days and the way I worked
around it was to create a local loopack 127.0.0.x address, and use this
trick from Bob Ippolito:
ERL_EPMD_ADDRESS=127.0.0.1 erl -kernel inet_dist_use_interface
"{127,0,0,1}" -name [email protected]
It was on twitter but deserves to be easier to find in future than
