I think it's still used a bit ? I see today announcements over the 
following OriginAS over more than 2000 peers.

as1103    SURFnet bv
as1835    Forskningsnettet - Danish network for Research and Education
as2847    Kauno technologijos universitetas

I'm pretty curious about customers impacts if your drop these anycast 
6to4 prefixes from your RIB/FIB ;)

At home, I use HE.net tunnel broker, because no native IPv6 (yes we 
already lose matches against Belgium regarding IPv6 and ... beer) and a 
quick dump shows traffic to 2002:/16 :

> sudo tcpdump -ni any 'net 2002::/16'
tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol 
decode
listening on any, link-type LINUX_SLL (Linux cooked), capture size 
262144 bytes

2002:6bab:c6c6:0:e561:b9f7:b221:a73.51413: UDP, length 365

So I'm pretty sure it's still used when no IPv6 is available from an 
eyeball provider to mount a 6to4 tunnel over a provider that have well 
deployed IPV6 infrastructure. Perhaps some of the 6to4 tunnel can be 
tuned to not use anycast prefixes ?
