accept_ra_rtr_pref is about router preferences.
accept_ra_rt_info_max_plen is about more specific routes. They are
defined in the same RFC, and probably many implementers implement them
at the same time. However, there is no logical connection between the
two, and making the default value of one depend on the default value
of the other doesn't seem to make sense to me.
Even if we didn't enable accept_ra_rt_info_max_plen by default, I
don't think it should depend on the value of accept_ra_rtr_pref.
