That way those network administrators who wish to use RA could enable it to the routers and others could leave it out. So would the M/O bits in the RA then be ignored? Or would we assume the presence of the options in the RA would go hand-in-hand with both bits being zero anyway? Is the proposal for RA method to always include DNS options in all RAs (would be excessive, but for renumbering or DNS option changes some indication is required from the "server" side), or for the solicitation to indicate that the client supports the RA options and thus request them if available?
