[Distutils] PyPI lost IPv6 support?

[Daniele Sluijters]

IPv6 (on AMS-IX) currently accounts for 20G/s of traffic at peak times
compared to 2.8T/s overall. That said, the amount of traffic that IPv6
generates has almost quadrupled since August last year. Stating that
IPv6 is not on the PSF's list of priorities is, as far as I'm
concerned, short sighted. It doesn't have to work tomorrow but it
should be on the list of things to get to.

PyPi not being available over IPv6 anymore is not "we're not willing
to do extra work to enable it", it's a regression. I understand that
this is not something the PSF can solve but it should at least push
Fastly to roll out IPv6.
