IPv6-only hosts will be able to connect to github pages now, if configured properly.

There are a couple use-cases for that, but it should allow cheaper VPSes, or less complicated network configuration by eliminating NAT.

If a host only needs to access GitGub and a few select hosts, it can be granted an IPv6 without setting up DHCP, NAT, IPv4 routing tables, etc.

I've been considering using NAT64 as a way to eliminate the need for dedicated IPv4 configuration at home, unfortunately I recently moved, and the current provider is IPv4-only. This infuriates me to no end.
