the assumption made in RFC2461 is that the link MTU is constant over the link, i guess. i don't think it is necessary to make MTU negotiable between peers, it would complicate too many things.
What would it complicate?
Obviously nobody is going to force anyone to implement such an option; it would only be used between consenting hosts.
