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.
