In a discussion, I was shown a command line, and told that adding a
default route is as simple as typing this, why bothering this much.

# route add default ...

I wanted then to say this below but didn't have time.

# ip -6 route show
default via 2002:c130:13c1:11f::ff dev eth0  proto kernel metric 1024
expires 7752sec mtu 1500 advmss 1440 hoplimit 0
        ^^^^

Note that 'expires' field.  If RS/RA are not used, but DHCPv6
route-option is used with 32bit lifetimes instead of 16bit lifetimes,
would one think there may be a risk for that 'expires' field to
overflow?  Or to be understood wrongly by ND (if present), like not
knowing when to send the RS to update the data?  Or like simply crashing?
