[6bone] A question about BIND 9 and IPv6 == A6 vs AAAA

[Colin Faber]

Quick question about BIND 9 and IPv6. In the BIND 9.2.3 ARM Chapter 6 
under section 6.3 the 'AAAA' type record is to be considered deprecated 
and obsolete, in favor of the 'A6' type record. The problem I'm seeing 
with this is MANY software implementations (including ones I've 
developed) prefer the older obsolete 'AAAA' type record.  When was this 
switch to 'A6' going to take place, (is this a long standing issue with 
DNS record types? Should site policy be to no longer support 'AAAA' in 
favor of  'A6'?

Suggestions, Comments, RFC Preaching welcome.

P.S.

ARPA Net forever! Down with INT! =)
