RE: [dhcwg] Deafult Router information for DHCPv6

It would be far better to have *ONE* way in which this information is
configured and as RAs already provide it, use that mechanism.

If you can come up with a VERY GOOD motivation for why DHCPv6 needs to have
an option to specify routing information, feel free to write it up and
submit it (personal submission draft) and request for it to be considered a
Working Group item.
