One case is a reliable IPv6 RA server. The last time I tried to use
it it works for initial assignment but never renews addresses so
devices fall off the network after their address expires. [1]
ifcfg scripts don't run an RA server. You can set signaling radvd,
which can also be done with NM dispatcher scripts (which would be much
more flexible, since it wouldn't be hard-coded to just radvd like the
ifcfg scripts).
