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.

interface eth0
	nooption nd_mtu

Should do the trick.
Let me know!
