The quote from that link: "IPv6 is used primarily by some research 
institutions" does not mean that it's experimental. In fact it's a 
full standard and very much alive. Admittedly mainly alive within 
organisations because of the unreliability of some bits of the 
Internet infrastructure like some DNS servers.

To my own knowledge there was much interest in IPv6 deployment at a 
2008 conference attended by many of those who provide the web 
services we all use, so it may not be long before we're all using 
websites with IPv6 addresses.

Most people can turn it off for now, but don't dismiss it as 
experimental. It left that stage in 1998.
