Are the network operators who are expressing "the specific  
requirement" that their network not "depend on RA" willing to accept  
that they still need RA to signal nodes that DHCP is required for  
obtaining prefix information and default router addresses?

Or, do they want RA deprecated completely?  If they do, then I  
wouldn't like that.
