I can't follow you here. The IPv6 allocation policies are not tied to technical infrastructure requirements, and that's a good thing - we *want* smaller ISPs to be able to get an IPv6 allocation, even if they can't reasonably warrant to connect to a major IX. Especially as upstream prices tend to be cheaper these days than just the access link to an IX, unless you happen to sit in the same city...
Usually, afaik, ISP's are already at an IX and also have their upstreams there and are mostly operating from a colo close to that IX, thus being at an IX also directly makes one have multiple upstreams and thus at least one of them having IPv6 connectivity available. Greets, Jeroen
