it was discussed already, that it depends not on RIR, but on ICANN. When these guys will finish tests&checks, we will get that game to our painful collection.
and I suppose the question is when are ICANN actually going to get around to it. They seem to have waited long enough to add some ccTLD AAAA records, but to me that seems kind of pointless without the root containing AAAA's.
I'm not so much concerned about how long this step took for exactly the reason you mention: there is little advantage in having TLD AAAA glue records (you say ccTLDs, what about the gTLDs then??) without the same for the root itself. What I _am_ worried about is the way they presented this fairly small step as a huge deal. As I wrote on my website: "One small step for mankind... but a huge step for ICANN."
