yes, this is my patch. I was not sure if we need to change this
accept_ra default to 2.

I really think it's Nvidia related. here a friend pull request, about a
vxlan fix, where it's was already fixed in nvidia/cumulus ifupdown2 deb
version (I'm also a cumulus customer, so I verified that indeed they
are sometime minor differences)

https://github.com/CumulusNetworks/ifupdown2/pull/271

"we use an internal repository for ifupdown2 where we actively push our
changes daily/weekly.
Some changes are specific to Cumulus Linux and diverge from upstream
debian (i.e. default values and Cumulus specific features, etc).

So it takes quite some time to review the changes (and diff between
github/internal), and making sure they don't break upstream (and CL
ifupdown2). I pretty much maintain this github repo on my free time,
hence the long delay for the PRs, open issues and sync between
github/internal repo.

Looking at the code, I think it's a little bit behind the nvidia
version, but not too much.

But Indeed, they should tag a new version.
