Well, i don't really know NREN sites can be accounted for as "large 
production", but several have their AAAA in place for a significant amount 
of time on www.<NREN>.<NREN's ccTLD>, and afaik, there is little or no 
complaints.....

I know in the majority of cases it was a hard war to see this AAAA in 
place, but i'm unaware of cases where the AAAA record was placed and then 
later removed. But perhaps i'm wrong :-)
