 In #16069, we changed accept6/reject6 ... so they only produced IPv6
 rules. But this doesn't apply to accept6/reject6 private:... , which still
 produces both IPv4 and IPv6 rules.

 #16069 added a warning on accept6/reject6 private, infoming the user
 they're gettingn IPv4 and IPv6 rules.

 Do we need a private4 or private6 alias for IPv4 and IPv6 private
 addresses, respectively? Does anyone want to specify treatment of IPv4 and
 IPv6 private addresses separately?

 A workaround is to use a policy like:
 {{{
 accept *4:*
 reject private:*
 accept *6:*
 }}}
 Or to specify each private address range and local server address
 separately.
