radvd.conf.5.man is wrong about M/O flags documented in RFC 4862 #232

to quote from the man page: https://github.com/radvd-project/radvd/blob/f2de4764559e102fe8492520be328858af0f964d/radvd.conf.5.man#L272-L289

The man page states that the Managed & OtherInformation flags are documented in RFC 4862. However, this does not seem the case. Quoted from RFC 4862, Appendix C:

  • Removed the text regarding the M and O flags, considering the maturity of implementations and operational experiences. ManagedFlag and OtherConfigFlag were removed accordingly. (Note that this change does not mean the use of these flags is deprecated.)

I do not have a better source for information yet, as I’m trying myself to find out which of these flags is supposed to be set when having DHCPv6 in prefix delegation mode only.
