Definitely. And not only in the root-servers.net but also in the hints 
file and in the root zone itself. And not only for K, but for all other 
root servers that have IPv6 transport enabled. But as we know it's more 
complex than just updating relevant files. This requires careful 
consideration of possible technical issues, so that RSSAC can provide 
clear recommendations to IANA. As far as I know this work in underway.

The first one is the server itself, the second is the website containing 
information about K.
