Well...
Some you won't need or are relevant to IPv4-only-operation.

Last time I checked, dnsmasq was forwarding queries sent
  to it over IPv6 (but I don't know if it can cope with
  sending to upstream recursor over ipv6-only), and the
  routers' ssh and web interfaces worked over IPv6.

Experience with destkop type distributions seems to
  generally show good IPv6 support, too, in my experience.

Generally, client OSes can not all out-of-the-box cope
  with fully true-IPv6-only network hehe... Not that
  this matters too much, its' quite OK to talk to
  local forwarder/recursor over non-global IPv4 etc.


I guess, from an OpenWRT point of view, it would be
  good to make sure (a) such IPv4-dependencies are
  identified, and (b) that OpenWRT is easy to configure
  in the various transitionary ISP configurations
  (DS-Lite, NAT444, 4over6 tunneling, 6rd, etc...).

In particular: does it cope 'out of the box' with
  DHCPv6 subnet auto-allocation from ISP, automatically
  announcing this to the LAN, and also, prefix
  delegation to downstream router over DHCPv6 if the
  ISP provides more than /64  (e.g. /62 on 6rd or
  /56 or /60 or so native ISP provision).
This is important for 'plug in and go' IPv6....
