My recollection of the complaint about Apple's implementation is that it doesn't bias the choice in favor of IPv6; is that the root of the problem? If so, I'm not sure I can fault them; choosing the better path is difficult, and no algorithm will always make the correct choice, but choosing without bias is certainly not a technical flaw (even though we may wish to push IPv6 for reasons other than performance).

Bill.
