The beacons are lit, @npub17hn…m23e calls for aid: 🚨 Oregon State University Open Source Lab will shut down this year if funding is not met. 🚨
Among countless other open source projects, OSL supports Rocky Linux by hosting our ppc64le and s390x build environments.
Please consider donating to #OSUOSL. Talk to your organizations about the open source software they depend on that in turn depends on OSL, and ask them to consider donating.

Are there some enhancements you're missing? `rsync` in Rocky Linux / EL has all necessary security patches and bugfixes backported to it.

You are right, IPv6 offers a wider range of IP addresses during setup. That said, IPv4 works the same, and gets the point across how to use NetworkManager with Rocky.
As an open source community, our documentation is written and curated by contributors who volunteer their time. We would love to have this document amended with more up to date information, if someone with the knowledge, expertise, and time wished to do that.
Here's a link to get started! https://github.com/rocky-linux/documentation/issues/2425
