A6 can be seen as a generalization of AAAA. It provides a means within the
DNS to separate the routing prefix from the endpoint identifier thereby
providing hooks to simplify renumbering. I'd consider that a useful
feature. However in the trivial case, A6 can be made to work exactly like
AAAA. Constrain the depth of the A6 chain or constrain how the delegations
are done and you can gain whatever level of reliability or usefulness you
desire.
Are you saying A6 cannot be made as reliable as AAAA?
