the developer in question is an ipv6 purist.  shooting himself in the
foot and the customers at the same time.  it's an ipv6 tradition.

code 3 in v4, router option.  folk use it to cause subsets of the space
to take different exits.

that is not feature parity.  that is yet one more ipv6 'feature' that is
just different for religious reasons.  instead of giving the customer
what they want, we invent shiny new stuff and wonder why they walked
