And low end boxes.

Billion 740x series:  Dual stack out of the box, software upgrade
available for owners of equipment shipped as v4-only, provided they
have enough RAM.

Netcomm NB6plus4W:  An ADSL2+ home router with WiFi available for
$80 retail, can't get much lower-end than this.  IPv6 for about the
last year.

And for the geeks, of course, anything that runs OpenWRT has 
supported dual-stack since forever.

"Lack of support in low-end CPE" is no longer an excuse for not doing
it.  

If your low-end CPE vendor doesn't do it, then "lack of support in
low-end CPE" is an excellent reason to change vendors to one that
does.
