I just checked and determined that there appear to be no AAAA records
yet for the WMF servers.
I have to admit to having been negligent in examining the IPv6
readiness of the Mediawiki software. Is it generally working and
ready to go on IPv6?
Does the Foundation have a IPv6 support plan ready to go?
The importance of this is going to be high in the Asia-Pacific region
within a few months:

(APNIC runs out of IPv4 space to give to providers somewhere around
August, statistically; RIPE in Feb or March 2012, ARIN in July 2012).
In each region, ISPs then will start running out of IPv4 to hand out
within a month to three months of the registry exhaustion.
We have a few months, but by the end of 2012, any major site needs to
be serving IPv6.
Out of curiosity, is anyone from the Foundation on the NANOG mailing lists?
