That depends very much on what is being reached. Would it be reasonable
for a.gtld-servers.net and b.gtld-servers.net to start silently
blocking v6 datagrams on a whim?
If yes, then by similar logic, presumably it would be ok if
a.gtld-servers.net and b.gtld-servers.net also shut down their v4
connectivity for a few days, since there are other nameservers
available to serve the COM and NET zones?
You might say yes, but there are many who would disagree.
