If you decide that for some reason you do not want to fix this,
I think it's pretty clear that something has to be fixed.
I'm wondering why FreeBSD doesn't have the same issues. Looking at the
code I can't figure it out.
What's the recommended API a userland application (dhcpv6 client) should
use for adding/updating lifetimes/removing IPv6 addresses on an
interface?
It's all ioctls.
add: SIOCAIFADDR_IN6
remove: SIOCDIFADDR_IN6
update lifetime: SIOCSIFALIFETIME_IN6
Check out ifconfig.c for examples.
http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/sbin/ifconfig/ifconfig.c
How about the same for configuring prefixes?
Not sure what you mean. The SIOCAIFADDR_IN6 ioctl takes a struct
in6_aliasreq argument, which has a prefix mask member.
