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.
