operational problems. No one anticipates operational problems arising from this change if the proper checks outlined in the document are done, but it is nice to have a safety mechanism.
Agreed, fully.
Imagine there was indeed an operational problem and that the IANA had to initiate a formal discussion, that had to come to a consensus, on what to do about it. A bloody nightmare if you ask me.
Sure, but the 'safety belt' in the policy document is stated much broader than necessary for the risk posed by AAAA glue RRs. It can be applied to problems totally unrelated to IPv6. While that may even be technically useful certain certain circumstances, this en passant introduction would not have been necessary. -Peter
