I thought so for a while but apparently not.  I _think_ it is related to some 
firewall changes but I can't pin down exactly what has changed.

Apparently it was mentioned somewhere that some RFC prohibited an IPv6 router 
to react to router announcements, so if IPv6 forwarding is enabled the WAN 
interface won't use auto configuration.  And that is actually the current 
behavior.  IF I disable IPv6 forwarding, the WAN interface does get an IPv6 
address.  I guess this behavior makes sense somewhat but I wish I knew what had 
changed so I could (RFC compliant or not) reenable the old behavior.
