If, on the other hand, the REAL desire is to have a DHCP server break the tie in the selection between several routers that advertise their presence, that wouldn't be unreasonable.
In some configurations not all hosts are supposed to use the same router. We need the _option_ to specify a default gateway and have the override any RA's a host may see.
There is no requirement that the IETF provides all functionality that someone can think up. The list of desired functionality is infinite, and much on that list is a bad idea and/or can be achieved in different ways.
Ok, lets start with not breaking the functionality we have today in IPv4. Once you get that working again we can look at new ideas (like RA) that might have utility. Let the new stuff live/die on it's own merits. The Internet is very good at sorting out the useful technology from the crap.
Seriously, we're all adults. So treating us like children and taking awaythe power tools is not appreciated.Stop trying to break the internet and I'll treat you like an adult.
At conferences I keep hearing "It would be great if the IETF had more operator input." Yet whenever we try to provide operationally useful advice we are ridiculed for not being smart enough to know how things should work. How do we fix that? - Kevin
