What I do not understand is the *concept* of switching between

It is not about home setup at all.
When a new machine is connected to the alien LAN, dhcp is the easiest
way to get it working for the users without admin access.
At some later point, user could switch to dedicated static ip address
via web interface.
If you are building a distro for other people, I am sure you can
script things, in your preferred scripting language, to do what you
suggest.
Yes, this is the plan so far.
However I do miss some handy things in LFS/BLFS books which helps to
tune a box: bonding setup, ipv6, mtu, etc.
And I don't believe they are "too advanced" to be included in the book.
If you set MTU in /etc/ifconfig.* it will be honored. Although I have
no way of testing, I believe that using a IPv6 addresses in
/etc/ifconfig.* will also be honored.
Network bonding is a fairly advanced capability. A hint would be more
appropriate for that. Do you care to write it?
