The 'use_ipv6' config option is not being used, and Ironic doesn't support IPv6 (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ironic/+bug/1325942). Someone may try to set this value to True, and that wouldn't do anything, so it is better to delete it and add it back in the future when IPv6 is supported. I'm not sure it needs a DocImpact since it never worked, but I'll tag it, just in case we want to document that "the 'use_ipv6' config option was deleted because it never worked".

Ironic
Ironic is an integrated OpenStack project which aims to provision bare metal machines instead of virtual machines, forked from the Nova Baremetal driver. It is best thought of as a bare metal hypervisor API and a set of plugins which interact with the bare metal hypervisors. By default, it will use PXE and IPMI in concert to provision and turn on/off machines, but Ironic also supports vendor-specific plugins which may implement additional functionality.
