Description

The column 'hostname' in core tables is defined as varchar(128), but the the column 'ip' in {blocked_ips} table is defined as varchar(32), which is a bug in D7, I think.

There's an additional issue that could be reviewed... I'm not sure if there are other places to review to make sure Drupal fully supports IPv6 (validations, preg, etc.), but maybe it would worth to check it out, just in case. The reason for this is: IPv6ActNow which is operated by RIPE NCC itself.
