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?
Is Apache? That's the base question, is it not? I think the answer is
yes.
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).
ARIN issued the last 5 available /8s to RIRs *today*; we've been talking
about it all day on NANOG.
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?
Oh yeah; that's what triggered this. :-)
Cheers,

Yes, I know YOU are Jay, and presumably I count as I was on NANOG in
1995, but I was asking about WMF staff / ops department.
