I think DHCPv6 ought to be cited as the protocol for other configuration
information, as well.
However, it seems to me the phrase "stateful protocol for *other*
configurations" is a little misleading. I think the word "stateful" could
be dropped.
And terminally confuse everyone who has ever read RFC2462?
It seems to me that having one bit to indicate the protocol to be used for configuration isn't all that much. Why not expand both fields to 4 bits, and then have the IANA maintain a registry? This could look something like:
0000 = RA
0001 - 0111 = TBD, fall back on RA (extra bits could be ignored as per RFC2641)
1000 = DHCPv6, handling of RA undefined
1001 = DHCPv6, RA is ignored
1010 = DHCPv6 + RA
1011 - 1111 = TBD
