Last time I launched a new website it took less than a month for someone to let us know that we'd forgotten to configure a AAAA and our site was inaccessible for them. And that was at new website traffic volume.
So yea, GitHub definitely knows about AAAA records and has intentionally decided not to have one. The question is: why? They must have a reason. Maybe even a good one. I'm curious.

- rob-olmos 6y agoInteresting. Any likely reasons why not having IPv6/AAAA make the site inaccessible to them? Sounds like most of the internet would be inaccessible to them as well?
- segfaultbuserr 6y agoA broken AAAA record, perhaps. Sometimes the AAAA is invalid or broken without getting noticed by the sysadmin. I've personally reported broken AAAA records before.
- rob-olmos 6y agoI see. Although from the mmalone's comment it sounded like an AAAA record wasn't set at all, rather than set incorrectly.
