Good point. What good is server a AAAA record from a DNS server that
doesn't listen on IPv6

A client running on an IPv6-only network will first make a DNS call to get the AAAA record for the CA's OCSP or CRL service. So the CA needs to make sure that those DNS lookups can be served via IPv6.

Like other CAs, we also don't see any demand for it today, but I agree that this is a collective action problem and CAs need to remove certificate validation from the list of problems that are blocking other parties from moving to IPv6. GoDaddy supports this ballot and I would be happy to endorse.
