Well, what about them?
Not that I'm particularly against v6 transport to the roots, but I'd be curious to know exactly what problem you believe that you would solve that way.
Well, what problem does having v6 glue records for tld delegations solve? If the whole chain is IPv6-capable that means you no longer have to depend on v4 connectivity to reach v6 sites. Eventually we'll want to switch off v4 because of the support costs, of course. But in the mean time this means better protection against connectivity problems.
