According to OGUP's data[1], out of the 271 currently known activeIt definitively is.
gopher servers, 59 are IPv6-enabled. That is roughly 22%, which is
slightly more than the 20% of IPv6-enabled websites reported by
w3tech[2] this month. Isn't that cool?
A less positive information is that out of the 59 IPv6-enabled gopher servers, over 10% are routed via the HE tunnel broker, meaning theyIt is much better than no IPv6 connectivity.

In future some networks will be IPv6 only.
because the users mostly don't care how the data is being transferred.
Nah. As of today, jumping through such hoops is only a nuisance. ItThe benefit is that these are required steps to reach IPv6 only. There
has exactly zero benefits compared to IPv4-only, but brings its share
of troubles, extra maintenance and performance hit.
90% of users don't need it, but I like to keep the possibility that IIn future some networks will be IPv6 only.
Maybe, or maybe not. Who knows. Users don't need a public IP address,
and they mostly don't care about anything as long as y**tube and
f***book works.
