Turnning off the servers will not reduce the brokenness of 6to4, it will increase it.

Depends on your definitions of "increase" and "broken." If all the relays disappeared tomorrow then the failure rate would be 100%, sure. But that would mean a single, (more or less) instant, deterministic failure that any modern OS ought to be able to handle intelligently; rather than the myriad of ways that 6to4 can half-succeed now. To me, that's a win.
