Although, I don't see much sense in using MLD other link local
multicast groups, I'm here primarily talking about the solicited node
groups. In my view, sending MLD on those is waste, because the *SAME*
information is quite clearly available to the "snoopers" from the
neighbor discovery traffic (DAD, NA, NS).

In my system MLD is a separate component, I would like to be able to
use IPv6 stack *without* MLD. (Which it does quite well, unless these
layer-2 kludges come in and  mess things).
