Actually, having DHCPv6 announce a default route, *and* have something
like VRRP for v6 would make "my admin life" more happy.

I don't trust RAs and RA client implementation - and yes, I've brought
our office network IPv6 down by connecting a router to "just quickly 
upgrade its firmware" that sent out "wrong" RAs.  (Yes, don't do that).
