I see where you are coming from, but if we conflate too many options
it will get messy to specify all combinations (if you want RA+DHCPv4,
but not DHCPv6, or DHCPv6+RA, but not DHCPv4, and so on and so forth).
So I'm inclined to leave this as specifying DHCP only, and introduce a
new switch for enabling/disabling RA when we get the necessary
support.
