No need to share any opinion here.  Just try to run an IPv6-only network
with Windows, Linux and MacOS clients, and consider whether the IETF 
might have given vendors better guidance.  Or finished one or the other
RFC 5 years earlier.

As an operational person, this endless bickering between the RA camp and
the "what do you need RA for that, when DHCP can do this all along" has
FAIL stamped all over it.
