Hi Manikumar, the current proposal indeed leaves out IPv6 addresses, as I was unsure whether Kafka fully supports that yet to be honest. But it would be fairly easy to add these to the proposal - I'll update it over the weekend.
Regarding KAFKA-5713, I simply listed it as related, since it is similar in spirit, if not exact wording. Parts of that issue (wildcards in hosts) would be covered by this kip - just in a slightly different way. Do we really need wildcard support in IP addresses if we can specify ranges and subnets? I considered it, but only came up with scenarios that seemed fairly academic to me, like allowing the same host from multiple subnets (10.0.*.1) for example. Allowing wildcards has the potential to make the code more complex, depending on how we decide to implement this feature, hance I decided to leave wildcards out for now. What do you think?
