I'm not really obliged to see a use of the DHCP host configuration channel to configure relay agents - a function that it was not designed to perform, and also that it happens to perform fairly poorly - as being justification to redefine our idea of DHCP's role in IP networks.

Possibly this is the core of the disagreement. I see it as critical to the secure behaviour of an SP or Enterprise edge that the network verify/enforce that the client is using the configuration the network gave it. I see it as DHCP's role to configure the host and the network at the boundary between layer 2 and layer 3.
