Hey! It looks like you've submitted a new PR for the library teams!

If this PR contains changes to any rust-lang/rust public library APIs then please comment with r? rust-lang/libs-api @rustbot label +T-libs-api -T-libs to request review from a libs-api team reviewer. If you're unsure where your change falls no worries, just leave it as is and the reviewer will take a look and make a decision to forward on if necessary.

Examples of T-libs-api changes:

• Stabilizing library features
• Introducing insta-stable changes such as new implementations of existing stable traits on existing stable types
• Introducing new or changing existing unstable library APIs (excluding permanently unstable features / features without a tracking issue)
• Changing public documentation in ways that create new stability guarantees
• Changing observable runtime behavior of library APIs

Use Ipv6Addr::to_ipv4_mapped to avoid this.

to_ipv4_mapped is unstable, so we shouldn't advise users to use that method (yet).

(Perhaps it's time to stabilize that function.)

Done.

(Perhaps it's time to stabilize that function.)

Added an issue so we don't forget to recommend it after stabilization: #96718.
