Similar proposal was done for the first time (I think) back in 2010 (by 
Sander and myself), but what we got back from Google repeatedly over all 
this years (several times) was more or less excuses why they can't do it...

Maybe if we collectively suggest it again they would look at it again. I 
heard that they'll take "speed of loading" into account, they already 
implemented it for http/https scoring, so I really can't see why 
offering content over IPv6 could not improve the ranking...
