Comment (by schlessera):

 Replying to [comment:2 joehoyle]:
 > I'd get rid of `rest_is_ipv4_address` and `rest_is_ipv6_address` and
 just have a single function that can validate either. Same for the schema
 types.

 I agree that all code should ideally support both. However, getting rid of
 the schema type `ipv4` in favor of `ip` might break existing code that
 already relies on the schema type `ipv4`.
