OK, I'll bite.   Never, and never (in nearly 20 years).   Although we
in effect have IPv4 PI as being an older university we came online when 
getting an old Class B was easy, before IP allocations were made from
the NREN space.

We have renumbered our IPv6 networking as part of experimental/research
work (and would from that experience certainly say fully automated
renumbering is not possible today), but that was just an academic (and
very interesting) exercise.

If IPv6 PI were available to us we'd use it because it costs us no extra
to do so.
