Yeah, it's your patch that broke compat here which we applied
already [0], but upstream hasn't yet [1] (do you know what's going on
with them, much less responsive and no release yet since over three
years, maybe just NVIDIA stifling the great work the cumulus devs?)
anyhow, disabling accept_ra by default was IMO the right call.
