I am trying to get someone to tell me exactly what the problem is with the
existing DNS servers and why there is any deployment problem. Thus far I
can find nor get any concrete data that anything is wrong. I have
outstanding mail to the DNS chair.
Until someone can provide some concrete data we should begin deployment.
There are no DNS police or governments if the owners of the root servers
will deploy IPv6. And ngtrans has seen no issue.
Clearly A6 records can cause a performance problem at the resolver but
that should not be news to anyone at this point.
