Right, to a certain extent that is true, of course; but not in the same
drive-by fashion where a single packet can put everyone offline (if the
option is not in the regular announcements).

Would it not be reasonable to add in a requirement that if a client has
already received a DHCPv4 lease (or more generally, has been configured
for IPv4 in some way), it will ignore requests to turn off the stack?
