Personally, I'm not a big fan of DHCPv6. First of all, from a
philosophical standpoint: I believe that stateless autoconfiguration
is a better model in most cases (although it obviously doesn't support
100% of the DHCP functionality). But apart from that, some of the
choices made

I have a modest proposal for providing the functionality of DHCPv4 in IPv6
autoconf:
How about using the mechanism in RFC 5075 to specify all of these variables as
RA flags?
And as long as the variables also get defined as DHCPv6 fields, perhaps we
could plan on having prefix delegation
