While this is the completely wrong list to ask something like this on. fedora-
infrastructre list is the correct place.  there is currently no plans to roll 
out IPv6 our upstream providers do no provide IPv6 connectivity. we could look 
at using SIXXS or someone like it for ipv6 tunnels. but as of right now its 
not being actively worked on. We do need to look into it at some point 
however.  some mirrors are available via ipv6 . it would be nice to have 
mirror lists available via it.  some services i know dont support ipv6.
