Any updates on CLicky supportin Ipv6?

I've been waiting for years for this and seems like it's never gonna happen.

Can our friendly Clicky admin explain what the challenges are, if any, for adding IPv6 support?

Would like to hear their thought before moving on to somewhere else.

Two main reasons we haven't done this:

First, IPv6 visitors can still talk to IPv4 servers, so they should still be tracked. Their location may not be as accurate since the traffic goes through a gateway, but they're still tracked.

Also, IPv6 is 128 bit, which is 4x as big as IPv4, and it's just not efficient storing and indexing numbers that large when there's hundreds of millions of unique ones every single day across our customers' websites.
