Yes, but the result is that the host tries to use Teredo preferentially
even if the IPv4 path is better; and if the Teredo path is broken
the result is user pain (as with 6to4). I think the idea of deprecating
Teredo is that now that native IPv6 is a serious option, the costs of
Teredo outweigh the benefits,on average.

(Unfortunately nobody ever wrote the Teredo equivalent of RFC6343.)
