Thanks for this RFC.

Good news and I am happy about it.  It is a good and necessary means to
configure the prefix on MR.  Without it the MR needs to pre-configure
somehow its prefix, which is a burden.

We could discuss further about some of its imposed features (Relay on
MR, alternate sequencing Sol/BU/Sol, etc.)
