Support default-routing options for DHCPv6 !
This would be a big mistake. Fate sharing between the device that
advertises the presence of a router and the device that forwards packets
makes RAs much more robust than DHCPv4. And DHCPv6 is just a case of
very bad design, don't expect it to work well without bending over
backwards even farther than you're used to with DHCPv4. It's time for
this DHC stuff to reach its final resting place.
Then don't use it. That's why it's called an Option :)
However some of us actually need to use this stuff and sometimes
in ways not imagined by the IETF.
