Ofcourse this would be a great thing to have the root servers available
over IPv6 without having to depend on IPv4.
For the coming 20 years or something it will be inevitable to have them
speaking IPv4 too ofcourse...
But having at least a couple of them doing 'native' IPv6 would be a
great thing IMHO.
So a dualstacked root server would be great and a small step for IPv6
but a big step into the future... ;)
