DHCPv6 is meant to be used in conjunction with router advertisements,
and is not a mechanism to deliver a default gateway/router to clients.
That is what RA is for. If you're not delivering actual options (DNS,
search domains, etc) with DHCP, you might re-evaluate whether you need
to use DHCP at all. RA might be all you need.
