While it is possible for a router to create static routes automatically
based on DHCPv6 assignment information, this has no loop prevention and
is suboptimal depending on the configuration that things get plugged in.
I'm not talking good network design here. I'm talking, buy box, plug in
wherever it fits. Things should work.
