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__
...
<-- snip -->
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__ ?

Hi Adrian,
Sorry for a bit of delay... We are away at an SCTP Interoperability
event.

Are you sure? I vaguely remember one of the network structs having
#ifdef'd fields for v6. Consequently, if one compiles first without,
but the tries later compiles/loads ipv6... bad things happen as the
kernel has a different concept of what the sock is.

Yes. The intent was to at least discourage a configuration that will
segfault.

after reading this at net/Kconfig:
<-- snip -->
...
# IPv6 as module will cause a CRASH if you try to unload it
config IPV6
tristate "The IPv6 protocol (EXPERIMENTAL)"
...
<-- snip -->
I'm wondering whether it might be an idea to disallow the modular
building of IPv6 support?

It's currently discouraged but not completelyt impossible to select...
