It's unlikely that it will matter. In practice, ICMP router discovery died a long time ago, thanks to neglect. Host vendors didn't adopt it, and it languished. The problem eventually got solved with HSRP and its clone, VRRP.

Its been available from microsoft since windows2000, and according to documentation, on by default. I am not quite sure this can be blamed on vendors as opposed to users.
