from goeff huston's data they have more v6 at home.

And not purposely, either - because it's enabled by default on recent client OSes.  My guess is that a non-trivial 
fraction of observed IPv6 traffic today is unintentional.

This is excellent! It is not likely that any end-user traffic over IPv4
is intentionally sent over IPv4. It is sent to Facebook. (eh, faceb00c,
of course) Likewise, the -4 and -6 options for SSH are there for debugging
and fault mitigation, nothing else.

I'm quite satisfied that this now is the norm. It's the only way we'll be
able to restore e2e on the Internet and evolve beyond simple client-server
models like TN3270^H^H^H^Hthe web.
