You don't even need to worry about the transition reaching the point
where some servers or clients drop support for AAAA -- A6 records can
be use like AAAA with one waste byte.

And as long as you don't ditch DNAME + binary labels, you can put
your reverse data in the same zone.  Now there's a job for a perl
script.
