I'd like to encourage people to use prefix-hint=::/48.

The router should accept the /60 and deal with it, but it's better to have Comcast's logs show that you requested a 
proper full-size prefix.

I'm almost afraid to ask about the phrase "add-default-route=yes" in the dhcp-client configuration. That seems wrong on 
the face of it since you should be getting your routing information from RA and not DHCP.

Is it somehow harmful to have both?
