There are plenty of ways to get IPv6 from 3rd parties and tunnel it over IPv4 - you don't need to get it from your main ISP. As such I can plug into any network and setup an IPv6-over-IPv4 tunnel, run an radvd daemon on my machine, and more or less every other machine will automatically configure itself with a global IPv6 address with no admin work required. As such you really do want to have IPv6 firewall enabled all the time even if you don't think you're using IPv6.
