Mine could do in 2012.  It was living on an IPv6-only network back then 
already (and so does its successor since).

The old one would also learn prefixes from RAs.  It only had a problem 
with SNMP replies and source address selection for supply level 
information when there was more than one prefix announced by different 
routers on the network (didn’t just turn the addresses around but 
replied from a random address confusing the requesting client).
