I can easily put it back :-)
I've gone back and forth on the v6 DHCP case a few times. I think it
goes like this:

-00: DHCPv4 only
-01: DHCPv4, DHCPv6   [ DHCPv6 added by Paul E]
-02: DHCPv6, RA, DHCPv4  [ RA added as requested by Lorenzo C]
-03: DHCPv4, RA [ DHCPv6 removed after threat^w request from Erik Kline :-) ]
-04: DHCPv4, RA
-05: DHCPv4, RA, bits of DHCPv6 came back.
-06: DHCPv4, RA, bits of DHCPv6
-07: DHCPv4, RA, bits of DHCPv6
-08: DHCPv4, RA.

I personally like DHCPv4 and DHCPv6, but there seems to be some
religion around this stuff :-)
Supporting multiple option for v6 means need to provide guidance on
what to do when you get *different* answers in DHCPv6 and IPv6 RA. I
had text in -02 covering this, I can easily put it back.

The whole DHCPv6 vs RA topic is, um, interesting... there appear to be
some quite strong opinions around this :-)
I'll spin another version with both DHCPv6 and RA, and guidance on
what to do if you get both. This will no-doubt annoy some folk, but I
can leave the consensus call to Joel :-)

This is like putting rabid weasels in your pants, and later expressing
regret at having chosen those particular rabid weasels and that pair
