I agree with Ralph. Also HP-UX will provide a production implementation of full DHCPv6 as product to Moonv6 for complete interoperability testing in a real world IPv6 network in August 2004. Beta will be available to Moonv6 soon for initial testing and in the UNH IOL IPv6 Lab. Linux also supports a full DHCPv6. Both of these support both m and o bits. Removing them is not an option now. Regarding DHCPv6 most users will use it instead of stateless in Enterprises for control reasons.
