Re: DHCPv6 Rapid Commit

I found a reference to rapid commit in the man page for dhcpcd [1] (but not the man page for dhcpcd.conf):
--test: … “The rapid_commit option is not sent in TEST mode so that the server does not lease an address.”
So, given that this is the only mention in any of the documentation, I gather that:
- dhcpcd supports rapid commit
- Rapid commit is always enabled except in test mode
- Other than test mode, there is no switch or configuration option for disabling rapid commit
Am I correct?
Thanks,
Nick

I thought maybe it could be configured with a dhcp6_option configuration option, but then it occurred to me that dhcpcd would probably have to be actively involved in Rapid Commit, so there would probably be an actual config option for it.
