That's not really true, I'm sure most (deployed) routers actually do not
support IPv6 yet.

Since most ISPs are still IPv4 only you have to resort to tricks like
the IPv6->IPv4 tunnels to access the 6bone. It will not 'work properly',
until all the equipment IPSs use is upgraded to IPv6.
In the meantime you can play with IPv6 by getting a tunnel like those
freenet6, Hurricane Electric and others provide.
