Google has been testing this a bit on their main pages. Select quotes
from the presentation of their results:
> 0.238% of users have useful IPv6 connectivity (and prefer IPv6)
> 0.09% of users have broken IPv6 connectivity
The summary disagrees with you about the «almost lunacy» part:
> It's not that broken
> - ~0.09% clients lost, ~150ms extra latency - don't believe the FUD
The slides are here, they're worth a look in my opinion:
