Just seeing the discussion...
+1 for just using MC NTP. Even just ff02::101 is great for a lot of use
cases already. Almost wonder if it should be a lose requirement for v6ops
and the CPEs... Of course more problematic in large campus networks but
configuring all the services on all the routers for RA there is not what
you really want either.
