I'd have to object with such a blanket statement.
I don't think you can say you support IPv6 (from an ISP's point of
view) without DHCPv6, since I don't think anyone at a large ISP
sized scale is going to leave address assignment up to RTADV.
I'm aware that Vista added support for DHCPv6, and I have heard
naught else (aside from the unixes).
So, it's my opinion that IPv6 "may" only recently have started
enjoying the level of operating system support required for
actual ISP-scale use by one major vendor...and I don't know how
commonly deployed Vista is yet.
