I agree.
Which is why I wonder at why you're not supporting A6, as while a DNS
record can't possibly affect how routing is done, it can certainly help
renumbering, and it is beyond question that A6 can make renumbering
happen faster (if I only have to change one RR to renumber my net, I
can do that faster than if I have to change 100, even assuming that I
am able to do the latter via some kind of global change over a single
zone file, which is not necessarily true). And if you only have to
fetch one updated RR to know that all my nodes have renumbered, you can
do that faster than fetching 100 (or 10,000).
Most of the people who aren't supporting A6 seem to be taking the
position that renumbering doesn't matter anyway. If that were true, then
I'd be more inclined to not bother with A6, even though it might make
net admin easier (that side of it can probably mostly be handled by
smarter zonefile generation).
