The WMF has started with the implementation of IPv6; Ryan Lane, Peter Youngmeister and Mark Bergsma have started working on HTTPS and IPv6 support for the wiki platforms. A new test cluster has been set up to serve these protocols, and limited testing on a subset of wikis has commenced.
Now that there is limited testing, it will be interesting to learn how traffic for IPv6 will grow. When it grows like mobile access does, it will become relevant quite quickly.
Thanks,

Where exactly. I'm not seeing any AAAA records for any wikis (although i didn't really test very many of them). The only thing I see with an IPv6 address is lists.wikimedia.org, but as far as I know that's been like that forever.
