The problem is not that J exists but rather that it is being advertised
to IPv4-only clients which it cannot serve.  This is extremely bad
planning, though somewhat par for the course of IPv6's rollout.
Proactive end-users are already deleting J from their "hint" zone
files.

The root cause of this change management failure seems to be a small
group of network engineers with too much responsibility and too little
exposure to end-users.  The attitude seems to be "I can get IPv6 why
should I care that you can't", much like web 2.0 developers who don't
consider end-users behind dial-up lines.

The net effect can only be to push IPv6 adoption out farther still.
