Relying on IP address for geolocation is actually quite ridiculous though I do realize that many people seem to believe that you can map an IP address to the physical location of the originator of the data, at least to the country level, but I suppose some people will sell you anything.
We haven't seen any problem with logging data so far in our testing.
I don't disagree, but, since people like Wells Fargo are using it as a security check (ask me about my experiences trying to log in from Rwanda to check on a mortgage payment some time), things that potentially make it even more broken than it is are worth pointing out to administrators that may be stuck implementing IPv6 on sites that may have such dependencies.
