[wp-hackers] WordPress and IPv6

[Mike Schinkel]

Also, just to be thorough, a small number of plugins and themes may have issues with IPv6 if they store or manipulate IP addresses. But for those you'll probably won't know until one of them fails on IPv6. 

Realistically though I doubt any you'd need will have such issues. FWIW.
