Speaking strictly for myself, we didn't "forget". First of all, 
that's not what World IPv6 Day was supposed to be about -- it's not about 
ipv6-only users, it's about dual-stacking content (if your ISP doesn't 
have enough ip's to dual-stack their recursive resolvers, you have 
bigger problems right now :) ).. 

Also, and more importantly, our data shows that 0.5% of the users can't 
resolve hostnames if we enabled AAAA glue on all resolvers... And, before 
somebody asks, I don't have any data on what happends if you enable 
v6-glue to only 1 of your NS's though :)
