6to4 addresses off a multihomed IPv4 address. The 6to4 address is portable, the v4 connectivity today is typically better than native v6 is, and if you are building a v6 only mission-critical system, you are building a skyscraper on sand.
We're trying to get a proper DNS chain going - it's not too useful to build this on top of v4, if the goal is to do away with v4 dependency for fairly unimportant things like "the DNS chain".
You don't like tunnels? I have news for you: *today*, v6 is _mostly_ tunnels.
People over here do quite some amount natively by now (two IPv6 IXPs in germany, about 8 of them over Europe, just to name an example). Your view may be different, as America seems to ignore IPv6 so far, but people in the APNIC region *have* *commercial* *production* IPv6 networks *today*, and people in the RIPE region are starting to do serious work on this.
