Speaking as an end user, which probably does not qualify me as being
part of the "RIPE Community":

Agree with Florian's comments, and I would add hardware vendors to the
list. As long as there are no commodity CPEs supporting IPv6, there is
no incentive for ISPs to deploy IPv6 to their end users, especially
those targetting the home users.
