We don't query external databases for both privacy, performance and resiliency
reasons. MaxMind does provide an IPv6 database but it's of subpar quality
compared to their IPv4 database (that we already use).

However, there's a larger issue: our DNS infrastructure needs to be changed; we
currently use PowerDNS' GeoIP module (which was written by Mark specifically
for this use and merged upstream) which doesn't support IPv6 at all. It's not
just a matter of replacing a file on the filesystem.

So, it's definitely our agenda, as part of some larger pending DNS changes, but
it's not something that can be easily done.
