IPv6 is silly to support. There are no IPv6 NATs, so you should know your IPv6 address.

There are two scenarios where such a site has been useful to me:

1) Making sure I deprecated the right addresses in the Linux kernel, and that the kernel was using the outgoing address I wanted instead of the one it would pick via RFC 3484, and

2) Making sure IPv6 browsing is working since turning off v4 is a pain in the ass (in the setups I've had to troubleshoot v6 on, not my home network, where it's much easier).

There shouldn't be IPv6 NATs, but I expect there will be once it actually gets deployed.
