 > dd32 Websites and webhosts should more and more offer modern standards
 as I already explained. On https://en.internet.nl/faqs/ipv6/ you can find
 more articles.
 > In the western world most people have internet via IPv4, where IPv6 is
 just an extra "for the future", but more and more internet users only have
 IPv6 so they can't access services that only are connected via IPv4. So
 it's good for accessibility, inclusion etc. to promote IPv6.

 WordPress.org is one of the many services which are not available natively
 via IPv6, but this doesn't mean it's inaccessible to IPv6 users.
 A lot of the "western world" mobile networks use IPv6 natively, and almost
 all (AFAIK) in emerging countries. It's incredibly common for DNS64 / IPv4
 gateways to be included in a IPv6 rollout for that reason.

 IPv6 isn't intended on being deployed as an island, It's supposed to have
 a method to be able to connect to IPv4 resources; just not the other way
 around (IPv4 connecting to IPv6-only services).
