Remember all the trouble we had with rogue RAs?  An RA-killer protocol
built-in from the start would have avoided all of that, so I'm thinking of
an HNCP-killer protocol.  Nothing complicitated, just react to any HNCP
packet by unicasting an HNCP packet with a KILLER TLV.  Periodic KILLER
multicasts might be a good idea.

If we don't do that, we'll gather a lot of bad press by breaking operational
networks when stateful DHCP fails for some reason, with no easy way to
work around that.
