Which is reaffirming what many have said for a while: it'll be the
server-to-server traffic that will first peak.  It's just going to take
the client-server relationships years to catch up.  Every time I look at
my maillogs I've found there is quite a bit of v6 happening.  But the
web logs show almost nothing.

There was some additional research done by Geoff Houston indicating that if you exposed tunnel capable hosts (that were 
able to reach IPv6 literals) you had something closer to 20% IPv6 connectivity.

I'm already excited about traffic levels and patterns in less than 24 hours.  Will be interesting to observe.

See if you can reach this even if you don't have native IPv6…
