Sure, I've seen the same thing with OpenSRS and others with things like IPv6 glue and DS records for DNSSEC, but when 
they make it public/supportable, I still congratulate the engineers who made it happen.

Could they have done it harder/better/faster/stronger [1]?  Sure.  We've been doing IPv6 for over a decade as a 
commercial service.  I still am happy when networks get IPv6 enabled.  There's a long road, and Digital Ocean is just 
one party that needs to make things happen.  Wayport/attwifi, TWCable, and even Comcast who is a leader here in the USA 
could do more but it's all gated on internal criteria that I'm not aware of.
