Right.  That is necessary in order to obtain IPv6-only.  But it looks
like a huge task to remove all A records from DNS.

This makes think about removing all 500k IPv4 routes from the DFZ - also
a huge task.

That would still be IPv4 taking space on disk; taking bandwidth on
network up to Client (AI_ filtering is local, right?).

Ressource may be there, and the pleasure of removing; but reticence
worrying doing it too early is there too.  Maybe someone somewhere still
needs this little IPv4 and it will break otherwise; wouldnt touch it yet.
