Frankly, expect more of this in coming months/years.

The majority of network operators don't follow what happens 
in the IETF. Even more don't follow what the equipment 
vendors do, and just hope that when it comes time for them 
to deploy a feature, it will Just Work.

Given DHCP is such an enterprise/home feature as well, 
expect this to get worse as many enterprise networkers don't 
follow anything beyond what's on their desk.

We might need to find a better to let the operational 
community know about this nasty surprise. That or get the 
Router option enabled in DHCPv6.
