AtCould you please elaborate on this point? My data presented<http://www.ops.ietf.org/lists/v6ops/v6ops.2008/msg01582.html> indicates that there are very very few (the longer I collected the data, the better the ratio got) who cannot properly fetch a resource that has A/AAAA.
Your stats (which are very interesting btw, thanks for doing the work) suggest that the number of clients that would make use of the AAAA record for a dual-stack service is about the same as the number of clients that would fail in the event that both A and AAAA were present. That's not exactly an incentive to content providers is it?
IPv6: It's kind of like storing dry food in preparation for the apocalypse.If you actually KNOW the apocalypse is coming (but not when), this is correct.
