Why? I know that this has surfaced on the last RIPE meeting already, but I still think that a TLD name server is in no way special - it's IP address can be resolved by querying the root, so it doesn't need to have a fixed IP address "forever". If the address changes (which of course should not happen every couple of weeks) change the glue record in the root, and that's it. For the root name servers themselves, we have a "root name server IPv6 allocation policy" which permits static IPv6 allocations.
