Of course the IPv6 servers, IPv6 load balancers, IPv6 firewalls,
and IPv6 routing should be fixed, so that dual-stack clients
can successfully connect using IPv6.  Advertising an AAAA that
doesn't work is harmful to dual-stack clients that don't 
implement a Happy Eyeballs algorithm -- those dual stack users 
get unhappy and (rightfully) blame the problem on IPv6.
