Sure, feel free to ask questions.  I did have the same thought the other
day when looking through the standards, but the RFCs appear to be
somewhat ambiguous WRT to whether Managed should care about RA
prefix/addressing or not.  I assume your read on that is that if RA
indicates Managed mode, both the RA and the DHCP response should be
honored?
