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:

The slides are here, they're worth a look in my opinion:
