I still like the idea of a led which is red if no prefix could be received, orange if a /64 has been assigned, and a prefix has been requested from a downstream router (no prefix for the downstream router), and green if a prefix < /64 has been assigned and a prefix has been requested from a downstream router and successfully provided.
This sounds like a reasonable compromise. I am not a vendor manufacturer though, don't know the cost of this.
This is like the leds on the smoke detector, which start blinking once the battery level is low. They signal a problem, but it's up to the user whether to ignore it, or to fix it.
I don't know if it's local requirements, but my smoke detectors start chirping once every 5 minutes or so when they're low on battery. I don't want my home gateway to start doing that :P
