Honestly I think there aren't that many IPv6 deployments with Ceph out there. I 
for sure am a big fan a deployer of Ceph+IPv6, but I don't know many around me.

There is probably no automated testing with IPv6 either.

I don't think either. I don't think there is another way then just 'hacky' 
changing the MONMaps. There have been talks of being able to make Ceph 
dual-stack, but I don't think there is any code in the source right now.
