Please. We have been through this part of the discussion half a year ago, and we've asked those that know (the DNS WG) and they tell us "we can't rely on EDNS0, and truncation is bad". It would be very helpful if you could do us the favour and read up on old arguments in the archives.
Really? I always got the sense of earlier comments (not here, though -- I seem to recall this from IETF circles) saying that if you're running so newfangled software that you speak IPv6 you would be expected to also implement EDNS0.
I don't see the connection. The set of NS records returned by the root name servers for ".de" needs to be small enough so that the results fit into a non-EDNS0-UDP response packets, no matter whether the client can do IPv6 or not - even very old clients should get a complete answer. OTOH, I am way out of my technical league here - I refer to the DNS WG, and they said "don't do this".
