I fully agree. I can think of the following sequence if CPE has an IPv6 link-local address and needs a service IPv4 address: 1. CPE configures an IPv6 link-local address and run PANA with the link-local address. 2. Run DHCPv4 to obtain a service IPv4 address If a service IPv6 address is also required, CPE can run DHCPv6 or IPv6 stateless address configuration in parallel with 3. There are a number of deployment scenarios possible with PANA. The above scenario is just one example. I am sure we can find out a PANA deployment scenario that can fit DSL if people pay more positive attention to PANA.
