True. At this point though, it looks like enough of a majority do support
IPv6, that it is reasonable to presume that a randomly chosen MTA will
support IPv6. Given this I think there definitely needs to be prompt
action. Long term of course I'd prefer the patch, but for the short term
adding an explicit mention should is easy.
