Correct.

You mean to say that what you stated is something you already do?

Did you document this somewhere so that people can actually find this
behavior and for which sites this is. This as people with problems do
google nowadays and will shout on twitter, better have your answer ready
for everybody to find. (do list all domains involved)

Except those people with good v6 connectivity, like me for instance, but
who use a IPv4 DNS recursor, which can speak IPv6, won't get an AAAA
record and are surprised they don't, while they could.

This while people who have broken IPv6 connectivity get an AAAA and it
is still broken. Indeed no change at all.

Thus why are you trying to 'deploy' IPv6 again if you are actually not?
There indeed won't be any change.
