I agree that if only prefix preference is needed (possibly also v4 vs v6), then it seems obvious to learn this together with the prefixes themselves. I.e. if you use slaac, then also get the preference that way (similarly with dhcp or other mechanisms). The preference is for destination address selection, right? So a question then is whether that is enough or if there are many cases where the full policy (including source address selection) is needed. If the full policy is needed in some cases, then we have to consider whether it's worth having two solutions. I don't know myself, I think it requires further study.
