Comment:

 We can't lock WP_HTTP down to just IPv4, IPv6 adoption is increasing, it's
 only a matter of time until we hit IPv6-only servers in the wild.

 Hosting environments need to be sane, if they have an incorrectly
 configured cURL or ethernet interface, issues like this are possible, but
 entirely avoidable by proper configuration.

 In the event that someone else runs into an issue such as this, we can re-
 open to investigate further, and, perhaps consider having IPv6-failure
 detection added.
