Impolite, once again...

When you don't want to read and just give insults, I won't follow your advice,
others than you will read, and IPv6 support is not just a RFE, but we have seen
above that this was a security issue, and that full support for it required
compatibility and security tests, depending on the webserver used and on the
compiled in the PHP version used on that server.

IPv6 is not already deployed and is the only safe alternative to connect to
many wiki sites (not just Wikimedia), because many users have limited support
for sessions in IPv4 (this works for browsing, but not very well for
contributing/editing), or need to pass through shared proxies provided by their
ISP (that cause lots of problems on large wikis, notably abuses that can't be
simply filtered by their IPv4 address). This includes now many users connected
via broadband mobile networks.
