IP6 trial extended?

I've just noticed that my router has had an IP6 address since Friday.
Is IP6 getting a wider rollout? Should I configure my machines to use IP6 or will it be disappearing again shortly?
I did read the article on Ars Technica last week saying that the USA had run out of IP4 addresses

traceroute gives me :

That's one of the new gateways - it would be interesting to see if other gateways are giving IPv6 addresses.

My first reconnect was to a legacy gateway and I didn't get an allocation, but on the second try I connected to pcl-bng01 and got a /56.
I do hope this is taking us to GA.

What DNS addresses are you being given?

The new BNG gateways are issuing IPv6 addresses to everyone, although this is not intentional.
There is a thread about it on here somewhere (also anyone on the trial gets issued a different prefix on one of the BNGs).
