Umm..
"IPv6 [...] delivered over our global, MPLS-based backbone."
It's not clear whether they're doing 6PE over their v4/MPLS backbone,
running v6 in parallel to v4/MPLS or running v6/MPLS (I don't think
vendors support this).
At least one of these doesn't (IMHO) qualify as "native IPv6
[backbone]".
