Yes, that is the idea. But this is a little more work and thus not something I
do right now. Again, this currently makes preferring IPv4 over IPv6 probably
the better choice, as it addresses exactly the scenario where the fallback
would be needed.

I still keep thinking (and nothing brought forward so far has been a valid
argument against it) that in practice there are usually only benefits and no
drawbacks of preferring IPv4 over IPv6 when both are available. On the other
side, there usually exists absolutely no benefit for the user in choosing IPv6
in that scenario.  

Regards,
Tim
