_Can_ we fix that in some reasonable time?  I'm not so sure..

If we fix most of the IPv6 routing problems (doubtful) in 1-2 years, 
people can start start placing AAAA records in their main DNS zones in 2-4 
years.  Is that enough?

So?  Bad IPv6 routing happens all the time, for about every non-local 
destination.  Bad IPv4 routing almost never happens.  They aren't 
comparable.
