Google and IPv6

[David Freedman]

Its just a lack of trust in reachability, I can understand it.

Getting the AAAA record for a host is not exactly the same as both reaching it via IPV6 and getting good performance out of it....

at the risk of sounding a trifle unthankful, I wonder whether the two  
AAAA records could be added to that for www.google.com, making the  
standard google search bar reachable by IPv6. It would be nice if as  
a result of the relevant engineer's work Google now had a service  
that was in common use and measurable by google in such a way as to  
guide them to widen it over time.
