Actually, I suspect more DNS servers are IPv6 than anything else,
although a site's web and SMTP seem to follow closely behind.

And just because you don't get AAAA records at . does not mean they
won't exist for .de, which serves over IPv6.  The protocols aren't as
distinct as you might imagine, and most transitioning mechanisms out
there say "try IPv6 first."

BTW, just looking at pseudorandom, I see AAAA records for .de's name
servers, and .uk, .ie, .fr, .us, .com, .net, .org, .biz, .info, ...

That most of them are not yet equipped to handle their clients adding
IPv6 records is another matter entirely.  But when they do, flame.org
will be ready!
