Why not? With a decent UE (such as a FritzBox indeed) and a normal
Happy Eyeballs browser, this mythical lady will not notice whether
IPv6 is up, down or half-up.

Today, my ISP is in a strange mood, and has given my FritzBox a prefix
which is unrouted. So my browser falls back to IPv4. Yesterday, it gave
me no prefix, so the day was IPv4-only.The day before, it gave me a
prefix that actually worked, so the whole day was true dual stack.

I notice this because I log IPv6 connectivity. My wife has no idea this
is going on. (Why my ISP offers inconsistent IPv6 service is another
question, which their help desk cannot answer.)
