Eh, I never said that avahi couldn't be extended. I just said that it won't replace dhcp clients as such. It makes much more sense for existing dhcp clients to support zeroconf rather than avahi zeroconf supporting dhcp. dhcpcd is currently the only open source DHCP client that supports zeroconf out of the box.
