For me "more addresses" is the *only* justification for IPv6. All the
other "useful" features are either uninteresting or even *unwanted*.

I'm sort of okay with RA on customer links (though I would much rather
have a more featureful DHCPv6). For my backbone links RA is simply out
of the picture, not even interesting to discuss.

The "failover" capabilities of IPv6 with RA I would much rather solve
with HSRP/VRRP.

etc.
