Many operating systems now prioritize IPv6 over IPv4. Otherwise there wouldn't be much IPv6 traffic at all.

  If only v6 is available there is no point for them to include the site in their general index. If both v4 and v6 access is available, what is the extra value of doing the indexing using v6 rather than v4? (The indexing process itself would add very little to the global usage of v6, comparatively speaking.)

    In that case, what is the extra value of having ipv6 at all? And Facebook seems to prefer ipv6, I guess there's a reason for that.

      Facebook engineers also declared Mark Zuckerberg dead the other week. Maybe there's no deeper lesson here? http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/11/11/facebook_zuckerberg_dead/ http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/11/11/facebook_zuckerberg_...
