I know those addresses and I also know that all of those boxes have a
latency over at least 200ms and very odd routability and those are far
far far from to be called production.

One really doesn't want to use those, just to be able to say that one
can use IPv6....

BTW that list is missing i.root-servers.org which is located in Sweden,
but that is a testing address and routes over the US instead of staying
inside Europe...
