Existing router implementations can indeed do stateless autoconfiguration.
cisco25(config-if)#ipv6 address ?
WORD General prefix name
X:X:X:X::X IPv6 link-local address
X:X:X:X::X/<0-128> IPv6 prefix
autoconfig Obtain address using autoconfiguration
but the question remains "how useful is this feature?".
Yes, the router can autoconfigure its "external" IPv6 address, but
it cannot use stateless autoconfiguration to setup his "internal"
network interface(s), and thus provide stateless autoconf to
network clients.
For that part, one could use DHCP prefix delegation, though, and with
the combination of both, you can get a fully autoconfiguring IPv6 (CPE)
router.
