What if there are many millions of hosts already in the field today, which 
currently choose the default router at the head of their priority-ordered 
default router list, regardless of whether that router's previous 
advertisements ever included a Prefix Information option with remaining 
preferred lifetime?

However notionally easy this problem is to address, I imagine that practical 
matters, at some point, must rise to the top of the pile of points to consider.
