You confuse me. Why is it necessary? To the contrary, it is
necessary *not* to do this until the last IPv4 user has vanished.

You might of course consider a resolver that returns NXDOMAIN for
any A query, if you want to hide IPv4 from a local domain.

And equally undesirable. Again, you could locally render all
IPv4 routes unreachable, if you really wanted to.
