It seems there was no reply to this DISCUSS? If so, let me give my
opinion: I disagree with the DISCUSS. Section 7.3 is just here to lay
down some paths toward a future and possible DHCP extension. It does
not attempt to standardize one. It does not request anything from the
current DHCP servers.

Mentioning section 8 of RFC 7227 could help, but this section does not
discuss the DNS-specific issues (such as the fact we need both IP
address and name of the DNS resolver, which RFC 7227 frame it as an
exclusive choice).

Possible solution if it is absolutely necessary to clear the DISCUSS:
moving section 7.3 to an appendix to make clear it is not part of the
DNS-over-TLS profiles definition.
