Quad-A records in Network Solutions ?

	Another reason to not use them.

	Seriusly, if they cannot expend some thousands of dollars (because it shouldn't be more than that) in "touching code, (hopefully) testing that code, deploying it, training customer support staff to answer questions, updating documentation, etc." I cannot take them as a serious provider for my names.

It requires touching code, (hopefully) testing that code, deploying it, training customer support staff to answer questions, updating documentation, etc. Presumably Netsol did the cost/benefit analysis and decided the potential increase in revenue generated by the vast hordes of people demanding IPv6 (or the potential lost in revenue as the vast hordes transfer away) didn't justify the expense. Simple business decision.
