I'm not sure if I follow. Do you mean what I've been able to do with relayd until now? Without link-local ipv6 routing DHCPv6 is broken (could probably addressed with DHCPv6 Relay to a certain degree) and RS/RA may not work (if it propagates fe80:: routes). Also apps that rely on fe80:: socket binding/addressing will fail.
