Hi,
I'm not sure if it is a recent change or if I have just been
white-listed, but today in mailserver logs I've spotted that gmail.com
is already accepting mail over an IPv6 MX:

lucab at galatea:~$ dig +short mx gmail.com
10 alt1.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com.
20 alt2.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com.
30 alt3.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com.
40 alt4.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com.
5 gmail-smtp-in-v4v6.l.google.com.

lucab at galatea:~$ dig +short any gmail-smtp-in-v4v6.l.google.com.
173.194.70.26
2a00:1450:8005::1b

I haven't yet seen any mail coming from gmail.com over IPv6, though. 

Cheers, Luca
