Probably no one on either of the IPv6 lists attended the DNSOPS WG
meeting in Anaheim, since it was at the same time as 6man.
Presentation by Yahoo! of a proposal to "do an ugly hack on DNS" to work
around an issue with "broken OSes" that send out AAAA requests when they
have no intention/ability to actually use an IPv6 address. Google
experience is that a small percentage of their users would lose
connectivity because of this, if google.com serves both IPv6 and IPv4
addresses. I can't recall if this particular issue has been discussed
here, but either way anyone with an interest should probably pop
comments over to the DSNOPS WG list.

Also FYI - this has gotten press coverage, not necessarily accurately
characterizing the problem or proposed solution
