Thanks, I was wondering whether you meant something more subtle than that.
And yes, things like draft-ietf-mif-dhcpv6-route-option and
draft-sarikaya-dhc-dhcpv6-raoptions-sadr have a sad history of being trampled.

In fact I haven't changed my mind since 2012:

It's a solution that will work the same for SLAAC-derived and
DHCPv6-derived host addresses (and for manually assigned host addresses,
for that matter), so I don't think that is very fair. I agree that it
moves the necessary config magic from the DHCP(v6) screen to the router
screen, but the logical result is the same. Given the lemons available,
it seems like a reasonable lemonade recipe.

However (see above) I baiscally agree with you. When MIF was first proposed
I said "all we really need is a default router per prefix" and IMNSHO that's
still true.

Hardly, but they are sometimes a bit set in their ways. Change costs
money.
