Thanks for the post! Always good to check up on these sorts of things 🙂

I’ve enabled IPv6 for the CloudFront distributions of `static.rust-lang.org` and `www.rust-lang.org` (note that `rust-lang.org` is a DNS-provider-redirect and may not be ipv6 yet).

Unfortunately Heroku, where `crates.io` is hosted, does not have IPv6 support yet. Additionally, `rustup.rs` along with domains like `doc.rust-lang.org` are hosted directly on EC2 which unfortunately doesn’t have direct IPv6 access either.
