Do you mean that they'll look for A6 and _not_ AAAA? If so, they'll cut
themselves off from practically the entire IPv6 network: administrators
provide addresses as AAAA, not A6.

Or do you mean that they'll look for A6 _and_ AAAA? If so, how does that
motivate administrators to switch to A6? Administrators who switch will
cut themselves off from all the other clients that look only for AAAA.

Or are you talking about an imaginary world in which AAAA and A6 are
both starting from scratch?
