Ok, removed my snarky comments on trying to be fast this late in the game. The problem is changing DHCPv6 so people want to deploy it more means waiting a couple of years for the changes to start appearing and then many more years for the non-changed systems to disappear. How doing this makes anything faster is a mystery to me. People just have to get over the fact that IPv6 is different from IPv4 in some regards and it's too late now to change that, because we're already way behind deploying IPv6 before the IPv4 addresses run out.
