"The alternative would be to have DHCPv6-lite servers *on the

have DHCPv6-lite servers today. Therefore, the fundamental step in
configuration is, in the abstract, "hand out this address to hosts
for DNS service". Whether that configuration step alters the RA
configuration or the DHCP configuration, and whether the address is
distributed by ND or by DHCP is immaterial to the admin.
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).
