Seems to me that IETF in this case failed to provide a suggestion for a 
working solution.

So neither equipment vendors nor network operators now have any kind of 
recommendation on how to do things, and we now see that several vendors 
have failed to implement DHCPv6-PD with routing in their equipment, and 
network operators are now supposed to modify their DHCPv6 backend servers 
to provision static routes in their routers? Is there even an IETF 
recommendation document that says this is the way things should be done? 
And that indentifies pitfalls in doing so?
