     Services treats IP addresses the same way as hostnames, i.e. as
variable-length strings; this includes SZlines, which only check for a
wildcard match the same way as autokills.  The only place IPv4/IPv6 would
make a difference is in protocol modules for protocols that supply IP
addresses in the NICK/USER message; at the moment, the only supported
protocol that does this is Bahamut, and Bahamut doesn't support sending
IPv6 addresses, so the point is moot.
