It might be immaterial to the *router* admin, but it certainly isn't
immaterial to the *client* admin. If the client has no DHCPv6 on it,
and the relevant information isn't in ND/RA, this is pretty relevant.
As of today, most IPv6 capable client machines do *not* have DHCPv6
clients (but adittedly, wouldn't know how to handle RA-with-DNS either).
