New description:

 We run multiple WordPress instances on hosts which are '''IPv6 only'''.
 These websites are used internally where we recently transitioned to IPv6
 completely and disabled IPv4 for simplicity.
 Unfortunately your [https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress.org_API API] at
 ''api.wordpress.org'' does not seem to support IPv6. At least it doesn't
 have any ''AAAA'' records set. Therefore we are not able to use Wordpress
 features like auto updates or plugin installation which connect to your
 API.
 You’d make maintaining our WP instances a lot easier if you added support
 for IPv6 to your API.
