The fact that someone got OpenWRT working in less than a week of spare time makes it totally clear why the commercial vendors haven't done anything: They're just simply not interested, nothing more, nothing less.
I suspect they didn't use DHCPv6-PD with that OpenWRT. I've had issues with the dhcp client that comes with it in the past, though I've had an ubuntu box acting as a router with wide-dhcp doing -PD. It works okay, although the devs really should look at better support on the automatic address assignment model and support for PD issued from PD. Of course, I suspect there's just not enough interest in the linux dev community to bother. Finally, one of the home router firmware companies (which I believe linksys used when they didn't use linux) has had IPv6 support in their codebase for a year now. See nanog history. The manufacturers that use their code don't seem to have implemented the new IPv6 code. Jack (sick, so if it doesn't make sense, sorry)
