I'm talking about stuff that has been shipping in OS releases for
a decade now in terms of servers and multiple decades in terms of
libraries.

Actually the edge has supported IPv6 for well over a decade now.
The core has as well.  The place where it hasn't been supported is

Your crufty old XP boxes will talk IPv6.  I've got equipment that
supports IPv6 that is no longer supported by the manufacturer.
