To give a hint that DHCPv6 is present?
Don't you consider this useful?
I have no hard stance whether to remove M&O bits or not at this stage, however if we remove it, I guess somebody will sporadically define similar flags into the RA repeatly so as to perform that kind of operations. Of course it can be a separate document. Nevertheless, M&O bits (or newly defined flags outside RFC2462) is useful to trigger DHCP operation to the host and we need it. e.g., recursive DNS server configuration.
I think you are making a good case for moving O&M out of 2462bis into a separate experimental RFC.
