End users doing v6 testing or testing apps for v6, will obviously know. We must have a number of those in some NRENs that we serve. We have several NREN customers who consistently generate orders of magnitude more v6 traffic than others. Then you have 
the generality of network engineers, who should know :-)

But end-users in general (academic or not) are unlikely to know, seems to me.
