Reading RFC 2462 will clear that confusion right up. There is an explicit bit in router advertisements that tells hosts whether they should use a stateful mechanism (sorry, this is what it's called, replace with "DHCPv6lite" in the next version) to discover additional configuration information.
That is the source of all the confusions caused by a poorly defined
word of "stateless".
That is, DHCP-lite is considered to be a "stateless" mechanism.
I agreee DHCP is the way to go with the, so called, "stateful" cases.
