Another thing I noticed just now, is that when you set the mode to DHCPv6 only, RA processing are disabled (accept_ra=0). This also seems wrong, as RAs are the *only* way an IPv6 node can automatically discover the default gateway address. DHCPv6 can not carry this information.
In the DHCP-only mode, NM appears to instead add a on-link route to the entire ::/0 into the kernel, which certainly is the wrong thing to do. While possible, performing DHCPv6 without at the same time processing RAs in order to discover the router address seems quite pointless. You could of course change the DHCP-only mode so that it did look for RAs but did not perform SLAAC (set sysctl accept_ra_pinfo=0). However, I feel that this is likely to be a quite out of the ordinary configuration, and that it is better to simply remove the DHCP-only mode completely and instead tell users wich such specialiced requirements to simply set the necessary sysctls themselves. What do you think?
