I don’t believe there is a reason that folks should accept this prefix from a transit/peer.  If they have need for 6to4 within their network, they should operate their own local 6to4 relays.

It seems native IPv6 is fairly widely available:

https://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/statistics.html

And there is almost zero 6to4 activity in those stats as well.  Since it’s a known path for abuse as well, I would expect networks to not carry these IPv6 routes and filter them.
