It got yanked. We do not have consensus on what to do with these
flags. I think that is broken, but I believe the proper way to fix
this is via a standalone document that updates the relevant specs.
It is not appropriate to fix that in node requirements.
I've added the following to the changes section:
16. Removed discussion of "Managed" and "Other" flags in
RAs. There is no consensus at present on how to process these
flags and discussion of their semantics was removed in the most
recent update of Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (RFC 4862).
