Not exactly. It does say that for Security Association Payloads, and I
think mostly people have been assuming that same applies for other
things too (like CERTREQs, or Hash algorithm negotiation of RFC 7427).
It would be logical to assume same applies to the Configuration
Payloads, for example the first DNS server address is the preferred,
or the first INTERNAL_IP_ADDRESS returned is preferred one and others
are aliases...
