Did you not see my posting, on the results of the "straw poll"?

Between "all auto" and "mixed" (meaning static + autoconf hosts on one 
site, or even one subnet),
the total was >> 90%.

Granted, that was a relatively small sample set, but, well, the globally 
deployed
IPv6 universe is a small sample set, currently. (837 prefixes or 
thereabouts.)

BTW - reality trumps the trade press, as a general rule.
