It is. Modulo some theoretical exercise being performed by people who
are smart enough to know how to prime them already, there are no
IPv6-only name servers. Even though the root is ready now, only 112 of
the 281 TLDs have IPv6 glue of any sort. The IPv6-only Internet is a
long way away.
Now everything I just said will become less true going forward, which
is why I said I will do the change request ASAP. But it's still not
urgent, and any impact that not doing the change tomorrow might have
is so minimal as to be basically immeasurable.
