Thanks for all the feedback.  Here's a summary list of the models and some
comments:

Linksys E2000, E3000, E4200, WRT610N: original firmware had it on, but
latest firmware has 6to4 off or removed
Apple Airport: a batch early on had it on by default, but latest firmware
has it off by default
AVM FRITZ!Box (7390 model): unit's auto-sense mechanism uses it when
everything else fails; may also be when IPv6 is enabled without
configuration.

The good news appears that end-users who have these models can upgrade to
the latest firmware to minimize issues associated with 6to4.  I will
strongly consider communicating to end-users that they upgrade the firmware
on their routers in advance of World IPv6 Day.

Does anyone have a list of CPE with 6to4 turned on by default?  One is the
Linksys E4200.  I'm looking to have this at my helpdesk's fingertips on
World IPv6 Day so that if customers call about internet slowness we can
quickly assist customers.
