People have been asking for IPv6 Support on GitHub since years (probably a decade by now)

... and someone even got so annoyed that they decided to setup a dedicated website for checking this: https://isgithubipv6.live/

I'm using ipv6 when I occasionally connect to Yggdrasil.

And I think I'll use ipv6 if we ever need to build a new earthnet.

It's a fine technology.

I use IPv6 at home, I selected my last few ISP's because they had IPv6. Left one ISP when they removed IPv6 🤦‍♂️ .

If you can choose ISP choose one that offers IPv6 and let them know why.

Because I can remember an IPv4 address and not a V6 address!

At least they could have added an extra octet to v4 instead of making it garbyremoved looking

You are not expected to remember a v6 address - or even v4 for that matter. They are designed for machines. DNS is designed for humans.
