I disagree with the interpretation of M=0. M has no impact on stateless autoconf. The existence of prefixes in the RA marked as "autoconf from this prefix" controls stateless autoconf. If M=0 and no prefixes are advertised as autoconf-able, the host has no assertion that DHCP is available and no

Seems to me it would be useful to allow both M and O flag on. While, in theory, the support for the subset of DHCPv6 indicated by the O bit is implied by the support for all of DHCPv6 indicated by the M bit, it seems there would be little harm in advertising both. Some hosts may choose to use both
