I don't think that will always work. The PIO is needed to indicate to
end-nodes what the onlink prefix(es) are, as per RFC5942.
Why do they need to know that?
In our testing at least under Linux did just fine by knowing how to reach
the router and that it needed to use (and actually used) DHCPv6 to get its
IPv6 address. No on-link prefix was needed (or even desireable in some
deployment scenarios).
Does RFC5942 says this is mandatory? I interpret 4.1 as this is definitely
not mandatory, rather the opposite?
