Option to disable setting MTU

Is there a way to prevent dhcpcd from setting the MTU on routes based on an
IPv6 router advertisement?  One of our routers is currently advertising an
incorrect MTU; and since it only causes problems for a few people, it may
be a little while before the network folks can get it corrected.  I tried
commenting out "option interface_mtu" in the config in the hopes that that
would do it, but without any success.  I also tried setting a static MTU
for the interface, which seems to have been ignored (or overwritten by the
RA).  For reference, I'm running dhcpcd v7.0.1 on Gentoo.

Thanks,
James
