Hmm. I don't see the connection. The RA preferences are for router
selection, not source address selection. Are you suggesting that the two
should be connected somehow?

My first thought is that this should not impact router renumbering. Router
renumbering is about making configuration changes uniformly across a set of
routers, while the advertisement of default router preferences &
more-specific routes is very topology dependent. I think it's something that
an administrator would need to selectively configure on relatively few
routers, not configure uniformly across a site.
