Right. That's all I meant. I don't think we need to get people who are using v4 off v4. But there will be people for whom v6 will surely become a more economic option (since as v4 addresses become scarcer, people who have v4 addresses might find it worth moving to v6 because the resource is more plentiful). The point I was trying to make was that, since dual-stack is likely to be around for a while, with growth on the v6 side, it seems like the wrong time to break a perfectly good feature (DNS answers on v4 for a possible v6 connection). There's something else we ought to be able to do.
