You do not have to wait. A major French ISP have provided IPV6 support for two years at least and it did not feel the need to do a trial. DHCP just give you both an IPV4 and an IPV6 address.

Actually, we (I work for this ISP) use standard ICMPv6 router advertisements for IPv6.

Out of curiosity, what do you use for the recursive DNS? RDNSS on the RA? DHCPv6? Or just let people use the IPv4 DNS server from DHCPv4?

Both RDNSS and DNS from DHCPv4 are usable.

FWIW, I've been using the ipv6 service from what I presume is the French ISP in question since it was available, with no issues. DHCP gives ipv4 and ipv6 addresses, as noted. No additional configuration has been required, unless I've forgotten something I did initially. The Ubuntu frontend to iptables, ufw, works fine as well, as do the various network tools I've needed (ping6, tracepath6, etc.)
