DHCPv6 and stateless configuration are pretty much still very messy right now.
yes, DHCPv6 would be a direct replacement for clients on the v6 landscape but
not many clients support it.... 

worse, stateless configuration, whilst in a way elegant, hardly anything gets
handed over to it....eg DNS or NTP information . theres also no way to hand over
any encrpytion or seed things eg for SeND - we've been in chats with people
about getting some nice extensions into the stateless RFC - it'd be good/useful
to have these things sorted.

..now...what are those IPv6 youtube addresses, I've got an hour to burn ;-)
