I didn't say people should do these things, just that there are things
that *can be* delivered via RA and that *can be* delivered via DHCP, and
that *can conflict*.

If things do conflict, then something has to decide, on some criterion
or other, which to honour (or to honour neither of course).

My post was in answer to a question from someone about about how things
could conflict. That's all.

Well - yes. And if their DHCP server says one thing and their RAs are
saying another, then there should be a sane default for deciding which
to use. That's all this is about.
