Us, for example.  2001:608::/32.

(I usually spend more time on making things work than on making noise
on mailing lists, which is why you haven't read that much from me
recently)

RIR space networks, at least in Germany and .NL, are strongly going to 
for native IPv6 peering at various peering points (AMS-IX, DECIX, INXS).

If the tunnel is inside your own IPv4 network, you can control the
performance nearly as well as on "native" links.

Tunnels are a much larger problem if they cross unrelated 3rd-party 
networks.

We are working on it.
