Nor was it intended to. From what I understand it's an experiment on the
usability of dual-stack servers at this point. Porn happens to be a test
load.

We (myself, previous and current employers) have been deploying dual
stack servers (with published AAAA records) for all sorts of
applications which may or may not give us some reasonable samples of
client behavior (usenet news, ntp servers, open source ftp http mirrors).

Experience would suggest that before content providers can build a
business case for dual stack servers they need to confirm they're not
going to loose eyeballs as a result.
