I'm aware of at least a few networks that are switching over to v6 internally and using 6to4 techniques to allow IPv4 services to work (which breaks quite a few streaming applications, like Empathy's Google Talk voice/video chat). That being said, it would be considered a v6-only network and it would be quite bad if Fedora couldn't connect to it.
