rad(8) [as described in the g2k18 hackathon report by Florian Obser (florian@)] is now the only IPv6 router advertisement daemon in -current, following the removal of rtadvd(8).
Advice on making the transition has been added to current.html

Hi,
Congrats on this! Will it be possible in the future for slaacd and rad to work interoperatively? Such as slaacd gets a prefix range via RA and passes it to rad which chops it up and gives out /64's and higher prefixlengths to configured dynamic routers?
Maybe I'm missing the point, I surely haven't informed myself of the protocols so I'm just fantasizing, but it would probably make my home network which is routed into every room (and 4 hops deep at max) easy to configure IPv6. Currently I use static IPv6 but not on all routers as I lack the time or will to properly configure IPv6 across the apartment).
Thanks!
