Very true - I was being a bit extremist out of frustration, but I think you're spot on - he.net tunnels and even 6to4 are toys to provide IPv6 support, not actually IPv6 support.
And I'm quite frustrated because there's so little actual v6 support, and I *do* actually need it on a daily basis for work. Because there's no actual ISP IPv6 support anywhere else (in parts of the US that *have* multiple ISPs), you can't even make the case to your ISP that it's a legitimate requirement for you because they know you're not really going to get v6 elsewhere.
