We have an ISP who can provide IPv6 addresses, internal technology which supports IPv6 and everything else we need. The only break in the chain is that we can't get IPv6 from our DSL modems to RouterOS because IPv6 over PPPoE isn't supported. See http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=29914

Yes, we are.

We had to add a Cisco overbuild in the core for IPv6 compatibility, as Mikrotik's IPv6 support is still a joke.

We have secondary SSIDs on our Mikrotik hotspots running WPA-ENT tagged to a VLAN that hands off to Cisco parameter routers. People still have to register using the hotspot page, but once they have done so, they can authenticate via WPA-ENT. On that subnet, an IPv6 address is handed out via DHCPv6 if requested. We also depend on the Cisco overbuild for OSPF6 support.

P.S. - Aftermarket Cisco gear that supports IPv6 and IPv4, like the 2621XM router, has become so inexpensive and maintaining dual systems is such a pain, IPv6 might be the end of Mikrotik in our core if they don't get their act together soon.
