Have we been opted out of IPv6 AAAA resolution?

Thanks! I'm glad Google is being transparent about the contents
of the blacklist. It would be even more helpful to proactively
provide diagnostic details of the "brokenness" they are measuring
to those that are blacklisted, instead of waiting for folks to
contact them. Silently blacklisting resolvers isn't helping the
cause of IPv6 adoption very well.

Thanks. Please share what you find out! I'm sure many others are
interested.

I'd be interested in knowing who besides Google is performing selective
delivery of AAAA records. And if specific details are published
anywhere.
