Well, the v6 client is the new piece of software that we are now
fielding; the v4-only DNS server has been running for years and nobody
wants to change it, so from a practical point of view, yes, I believe
that the v6 client should go the extra mile. 

What I point out is that the extra-mile may be as simple as getting
access to the nat-pt service, smtg a v6 client is going to need anyhow
if it wants to access data on one of those IPv4 servers that is not yet
upgraded to IPv6.
