OK, well, at present there seems only mild interest at best in this, even by the original RA method author :) But I'd like to see one more push made on the concept as it is useful for the stateless scenario (like Pekka, I visit many IPv6 networks and it is a missing piece - of course in part because very few people have running DHCPv6, but should they have to deploy it just for DNS?).
