hncp-07 section 7.4 says:
[...] The winner is the router (connected to the Common Link)
advertising the greatest L-capability. [...] The elected router MUST
provide DHCPv4 services on the given link.

hncp-07 section 10 says on the election:
[...] between 1 and 7 included (4 is the default) if the router is
capable of running a legacy DHCPv4 server offering IPv4 addresses to
clients and 0 otherwise. [...]

So, L=0 implies the router can't do a DHCPv4 server.  And if you have a
link where all routers have L=0, there will not be DHCPv4 on that link.
(Which is, I guess, how you would do sunset4?)

Not sure if any of this is changing in -08;  I do agree with Alexandru
in that there is a need for a mechanism to ditch IPv4 for individual
v6-only devices or complete v6-only homenets.

NB: Prefix assignment is a different question.
