RA is needed to tell a host to use DHCPv6
This is not ideal.
Why? Remember RA does not mean SLAAC, it just means RA.
Because RA assumes that all routers are created equal.
RFC4191
Because RA is harder to filter.
DHCP in IPv4 was hard to filter before vendors implemented it, too.
Because the bifercated approach to giving a host router/mask information and address information creates a number of unnecessary new security concerns.
Security concerns would be useful to explore. Can you expand on this? -- Nathan Ward
