That's actually the contrary of what the specs say today: if M=1 you do
DHCPv6, not SLAAC.
I don't see any statement in 4861 that says that. Per 4861, M=1 means
"DHCPv6 is available", not "nodes should do DHCPv6". Relevant text:
M 1-bit "Managed address configuration" flag. When
set, it indicates that addresses are available via
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol [DHCPv6]
I agree. It’s always just been a hint, no more, no less. And it’s been
discussed many times...
As shepherding AD, I believe the consensus is that there is not a need
to have this document update RFC 4861/4862.
