I'm glad to see such patches (I'm tempted to say "about time").

I would of course be even happier to see a *standardized* solution to
let DHCPv6 hand out a default gateway. The lack of such a feature (and
the strong religious opposition to it in certain circles), despite clear
statements from several big operators that they need it, is one of the
significant factors hampering IPv6 deployment.
