I have a plan to import wide-dhcp6 into the base system because it is
simple enough.

More specifics about the complex configuration?

I would like to discuss whether dhcpcd is a better option to import into
FreeBSD base, rather than wide-dhcp6.
dhcpcd has the following benefits that I can see:
- Actively maintained [1] (wide-dhcp6 seems to be stale for 11 years?)
- Used in NetBSD and DragonflyBSD (code sharing amongst the BSDs will
facilitate collective progress and lesson sharing). Roy, the upstream
maintainer, has committer on both NetBSD and DragonFlyBSD.
- more feature rich [2]

hrs - what are your thoughts?
I'm not HRS, but as it uses netlink, how does NetBSD use it? (i.e.
how do we simulate that?)
Regards,
Ben
