Just like the Linnode announcement, this is too early to matter but still super cool. Honestly, it will be a LONG time before users (other than us geeks) ONLY have an IPV6 address. Even when ISP's start using IPV6 to the Cable/DSL modem, there will surely be 6to4 translation. I'm not sure that _end users_ will ever see IPV6 only on their desktop, unless they really want it.
15 years ago, the great unwashed were barely aware that there even was an internet, and 20 years ago it was publicly unknown. Tech moves pretty fast.

It mentions performance improvements, what improvements will IPV6 give users?
I think the rationale is that some ISPs offer their customers IPv6 as well as IPv4, with IPv4 behind a proxy/NAT and IPv6 routed directly. In this case, the latency for IPv6 will be lower/better.
