More specifically, stateless autoconfig seems to work a lot better  
than DHCP in this case: one router advertisement can provide a large  
number of clients with address and configuration information, while  
DHCP requires messages back and forth for each individual client. A  
good reason to make sure that it's possible to run IPv6 with all that  
that entails (= DNS resolver addresses) without the need to run  
DHCPv6 if running DHCPv6 isn't specifically desired.
