I think most people want it gone.  Problem is, it's difficult to remove and 
it will take a long, long time before it disappears completely.  The 
approach that's most likely to get widespread support is:

1. make it not be on by default
2. make noise about it being A Bad Thing
3. deprioritise 2002::/16 addresses in resolver libs
4. then make the option hard to find on operating systems / CPEs
5. then remove the option on operating systems
6. then slowly decommission 6to4 relays over many years

draft-ietf-v6ops-6to4-to-historic deals with steps 1-3.
