So long as it *can* be compiled without ipv6, for those in some
IPv4-only-niche, without causing other headaches, that
doesn't in itself seem like a big problem if the code isn't
too entagled with it =).


Though, in general, I think we should be asking the other
question =).  What IPv4-dependencies does OpenWRT have?
Can you find and configure a router over ipv6-link-local,
and use the network without IPv4?.

RADVD can announce the nameservers.  No general need for
DHCPv6 unless you want extras like static-assigments etc.
This is now very possible with TOTD/DNS64 and get ipv4 outing
tcp (for dns-using-sites) backwards compatibility without
needing ipv4 on the local network.
Set resolvers to 2001:8b0:6464::1 and 2001:8b0:6464::2 and
away you go... =).

Does OpenWRT fall apart if you take out dnsmasq/dhcpv4? etc.
though to be fair its' still useful for client OSes that don't
always pick up radvd nameservers by default... but that still
doesn't require passing ipv4 beyond the router, only using it
for locally speaking to the nameserver that then uses TOTD.

Interesting one, puzzle...
To think about =).
