IPv6 support isn't on by default yet, but it does say 'Support' so I'm inclined to show it (Or just remove this line from the table). Alternatively we could not change anything and wait until we have it on by default. What do you think @mattwojo ?

IPv6 was always supported and on in WSL1. I can even find online discussions from that time talking about how to disable it.

https://askubuntu.com/questions/958876/how-to-disable-ipv6-on-windows-subsystem-for-linux

It is in WSL2 where IPv6 is not on by default.

Therefore leaving the current table as is (which states WSL1 does not support IPv6 but WSL2 does) is the worst option.
