As I'm also a NetBSD developer and run NetBSD on my router I checked our 
rtadvd implementation. Sadly it's lacking in that RFC and is quite 
spammy when flooded with Router Solicitations.

I've now updated it so it's in compliance with RFC 7772 so it keeps 
multicasts down to a minimum and unicasts replies to router solicitations.

I've also updated in with RFC 8319 which increases the allowed time 
intervals.
