RAs don't work for some situations, specifically for those people who have requirement for tightly timed failover, and for people who are planning or running very large ipv6 deployments. For these cases, it is more sensible to have a statically defined gateway address and to use a mechanism like DHCP to assign the gateway. At the moment, there is no option to do this, so the two options for handling default gateway assignment are: 1) via RAs or 2) manually via autoconfig scripting, if you have access to the CE device. No-one is suggesting removing RAs. Nick
