Joseph,
Do you have a particular security model in mind for giving Router Advertisements the power to control software functionality on each node? It would seem quite dangerous to enable/disable DHCPv6 clients arbitrarily based on bit settings in un-protected RA messages.

Regards,
Brian

Hello, Ted.

That's correct. I believe that the ability to stop DHCP clients using
M/O bits in RA is required once they were invoked by M/O bits in RA.

Joseph, to summarize, it sounds like you believe that the ability to
 stop DHCP clients broadcasting on a link is a requirement.   And you
therefore think that deprecating the M&O bits is not the right answer. Is that correct?
