But the ipv6 ifconfig and the ipv6 networking all work
fine without either of those changes.  I'd prefer not
to fix anything that isn't broken ...

Are you suggesting that one or both of those changes
will cause the ipv6_defaultrouter declaration to
suddenly begin working ?

Do you use that same  ipv6_defaultrouter  declaration
in your rc.conf ?

Thanks.
