It is really nice that folks where able to put AAAA records on their websites for only 24 hours, but they forgot to put in the glue on their nameservers. As such, for the folks testing IPv6-only, a lot of sites will fail unless they use a recursor that does the IPv4 for them. The root is there, .com does it mostly too (well, a+b have IPv6), but most sites don't. Thus maybe that can be done next year on the next IPv6 day? :) At least one step closer, now lets hope that sites also keep that IPv6 address there.
