| I feel, having a router configuration option (similar to
| DNS, SIP, NIS) would help the client's network connectivity
| in the absence of RA.
As a rationale, that's useless. If there are no RAs, there are no
routers, RAs in v6 aren't optional.
But, it might be perhaps useful to be able to configure a particular
router on a net with several - and perhaps different routers for
different hosts, which is something that RAs cannot achieve, so the
option shouldn't necessarily simply be discarded as completely useless.
Whether the benefit in allowing this is worth the extra complexity I'm
not sure I'd like to take a position on at the minute.
