You all might be interested to know that the latest version of the Avira
antivirus program (this is a free AV client program for windows that is
popular on end user systems) now does it's nightly signature updates by 
attempting to make a connection to it's update servers through IPv6 
first, then if that fails it falls back to IPv4.  It avoids the DNS 
issues because it uses a list of fixed server IPv6/IPv4 addresses stored 
in the program.

So, it's coming on the end-user side, but slowly.
