Really, I know the people involved, and remember that I feel the same
way you do about fallback from MX to AAAA.

I have a theory that you will never, ever, have any reason to accept mail
from IPv6 networks, since everyone you want to hear from will have an
MTA or gateway on IPv4, but that is a separate argument.

R's,
