IPv6 is not unscanable. Rather it is inefficient to scan random IPs 
looking for vulnerable hosts. The address range for IPv6 is that 
enormous. This could change if the address space fills up sufficiently, 
or other better manners of scanning hosts are discovered but that is 
unlikely in the near term. Hopefully by the time this happens there 
will be better anomaly at the edges so the provider would detect a 
scan.
