[issue33433] ipaddress is_private misleading for IPv4 mapped IPv6 addresses

[Gregory P. Smith]

Gregory P. Smith <greg at krypto.org> added the comment:

Questionable as to if this counts as a bug or not, but I agree it is counter-intuitive given the purpose of actually checking the .is_private property of an address.  So updating the behavior makes sense, but I'll be conservative w.r.t. behavior changes and not apply this to a 3.9 or earlier.
