  Sure, but IPv6 isn't IPv4.  The whole "stateless address" config
thing means that, in theory, every node can automagically configure
itself with a globally unique IP address without the need for DHCP at
all.  If you're a member of that church, DHCP just becomes a method
for nodes to discover things like DNS and mail servers.  There's no
reason I'm aware of that should have to be tied to a manually
configured address.
