Mat,
FWIW I agree with Ralph and Jinmei here. I have not seen any sensible argument as to why DHCPv6 is not the solution here.
I think the question might be better stated as why does DHCPv6 have to be the only solution to this problem. It's clear that DHCPv6 is a solution. The debate seems to be can there be other solutions as well (e.g., a Router Advertisement solution). From what I see, there are a significant number of people who would like to see other solutions in addition to DHCPv6.
From a network administrator point of view, having two solutions to do the same thing is not a good think.
From an implementor point of view, having two solutions to do the same thing is not a good think.
Also, I haven't seen so far a clear, concise problem statement explaining what the _current_ (DHCPv6-lite)
solution does not address.
