The problem here is not content, it's access. Look at World IPv6 day.
What percentage of web content is represented? Probably order of 10%.
How about access? Our public stats still say 0.3%
0.3% of access is fine, so long as the margin of broken stacks and deployments is low enough. If they find that keeping the content dual stacked has acceptable problems, then it's just a matter of access gearing up to match. The largest fear for content is to dual stack and have service levels go down. The only data we really get from this day is a better understanding of the service levels when dual stacked at major content sites. Some access providers may also determine mistakes in their networks, or isolation or MTU issues through transit providers.
