However, the IPv4 traffic seen on ietf-dns64 is negligible and harmless.
That is a practical indication that this problem probably isn't worth

I submit for example that sending a new "not welcome" response to
ARP requests would do more harm than good, since the legacy hosts
would probably react badly.
