The advice in RA-Guard in DHCPv6-shield is essentially 6man's advice on
the topic: RFC7045. That's why we provide RFC7045 as a reference.

If you don't like what the current version of the I-D says, you're not
only disagreeing with it and with the "RA-Guard IMplementation advice"
RFC, but also with the advice that 6man itself has produced on the topic
(RFC7045).
