If I remember correctly, their service is pending for now, because we
were just not sure about the effect on the existing root servers. See
the attached minutes of the last IETF ngtrans working group meeting.

DNSop concerns about IPv6 DNS root / Tony Hain
----------------------------------------------
Tony talked about the concerns of proposed experiments for dns root to test
ipv6 new stuff that occurred at this weeks dnsops mtg.
Randy Bush noted that anyone trying to do such as this should create a
proposal on what they are trying to do this for, and what the problems
might be.
Tony noted that this was not meant to be negative of v6 efforts. There was
no documentation and no plan of what was being done, but what was
understood was that damage to the running dns might happen.
Jim Bound wanted to make a recommendation to the IPv6 Forum that folks only
use AAAA records for now as there is no problem using them.
Randy and Tony noted this is not a v6 (A6) prob, just that testing might
damage the production root, and that production plans are needed for
testing. Even trying to keep the test v6 roots to pure v6 could still leak
if some client was dual stack and polute the production root.
A chair of dnsops stated that he wanted ngtrans opinion on what is needed here.
Perry Metger noted that he wants a production v6 dns.
Ran Atkinson wants a draft on what people want for deployment.
Randy Bush was not sure cache pollution is a problem, and this didn't
involve root servers.
Tony said running one root w/v6 might work.
There was no specific action for ngtrans taken as this is in general not
considered an ngtrans problem. The v6 root testing efforts referred to at
dnsops were not output of ngtrans, nor sanctioned by them.
