I concur with this. I just finished up bolting V6 glue to a few of my domains to test and see how they handled it.

Last I saw on their forums it said "coming soon" for about a year.IBTD. We register our domains with them (Tucows/OpenSRS) and we got the entry, but you have to contact support and it is done manually. Check my domain hotze.com for proving it.
What proved to be more disturbing was the response I got from an exit survey I'd filled out from a registrar I was transferring domains out from (due to lack of V6 support). I'd told them as such, and got the response that while they were, in fact, working on updating their DNS/domains handling to deal with IPv6, they *had not considered glue records to be part of that*, AND as a result of my feedback they were adding handling such to their project.
This is an established registrar that I'd been dealing with for years, they're not exactly fly-by-night. I have to give them credit for admitting it wasn't something they'd considered and were adding it, but still terrible they hadn't even thought of something as basic as IPv6 DNS glue until I mentioned it.
The OP in this thread said "This seems a kooky reason to change registrars." At this point and time, I consider that any registrar that can't handle IPv6 to be one that's worth transferring away from and not giving any new business to, assuming one is in the process of deploying IPv6 across their infrastructure.
Perhaps economic pressure will be a good enough reason for the registrars to actually get moving and make progress with better support. OpenSRS kept my business because they at least have a mechanism for handling glue, albeit not an automated one.
