That's underlying problem with both dnsmasq and odhcp6c forked changes - we use 
IOS-specific prefix class option # that is NOT from IANA, and I'd rather not 
see it in wide use for obvious reasons. 

And as a general point on odhcp6c front, I think a better method of expressing 
'extra prefix-specificoptions' should be found than just adding more entries to 
the CSV list of ENV_PREFIXES. In my experience, long lists of CSV-style entries 
become rather awkward to handle if you want to be futureproof; key=value within 
(or something else) is much better.

Cheers,
