Sure, I've seen the same thing with OpenSRS and others with things like =
IPv6 glue and DS records for DNSSEC, but when they make it =
public/supportable, I still congratulate the engineers who made it =

Could they have done it harder/better/faster/stronger [1]? Sure. We've =
been doing IPv6 for over a decade as a commercial service. I still am =
happy when networks get IPv6 enabled. There's a long road, and Digital =
Ocean is just one party that needs to make things happen. =
Wayport/attwifi, TWCable, and even Comcast who is a leader here in the =
USA could do more but it's all gated on internal criteria that I'm not =
aware of.
