I have a datapoint here. For instance at least one software version (the 
one that was on the one I used at the time) on the Linksys EA4500, if IPv6 
is set to the default "automatic", it'll do nothing unless it gets a 
DHCPv6-PD or other signalling. If you however turn it to "off" (I believe, 
this was two years ago), it'll start to do 6to4 and send out RAs on the 
wifi/LAN ports with the derived IPv4-GUA 6to4 IPv6 prefix.

So there might very well be plenty of people out there who changed 
something on their home gateway, didn't know what they did, but now 
they're running 6to4 and they have no idea about it and it's not something 
they want to do.

Here is my email about this I found from two years ago:
