So are there NRENs running SRv6? I think SURF are running SR, and
GEANT maybe? But SRv6?

We're not using it right now, but our team has been considering it as a
possible option for getting rid of MPLS in the core. We currently use
MPLS only to support L2 VPNs, and SRv6 might enable us to run those
encapsulated L2 links/tunnels across an agnostic L3 backbone. (EVPN
would be a possible alternative, but we haven't studied that in detail
yet.)

over the obvious fancyness factor and the decreased performance caused by the
bigger per packet header stack,
what is the motivation factor to get rid of the mpls dataplane for the srv6?

thanks,
cs
