I'm currently in a situation where I've needed to extend access to a wireless network - with two routers (as each has a single radio).

So I have a router that connects to a NATed subnet, which is plugged into another router which provides DHCP to a different private address space for my devices. Granted, in theory all these media hops could've been handled by (more) ethernet level bridging - but if I had simply had native routable ipv6 on my lan, routing through a couple of boxes would've been rather simple - as would exposing ssh or samba on my desktop to the lan or the Internet.

As it is, it's a terrible hack, that sort-of works...
