How is this not efficient?

99.9% of the time, rc.local is executed just a few seconds after the
rest of the /etc/rc.d/ scripts. Unless you have very specific needs,
this should be good enough.

If you have already written your own ipv6 scripts, maybe you should 
share them with the rest of the world?

And I share ''x y'' opinion: the vast majority of ISPs and web sites
out there do not offer IPv6 connections yet. Whether that is good or
bad is another discussion entirely…
