I didn't want to re-open that discussion (just commented on the document
that comments were solicited for). But the most important argument for
us is "RA is there anyway, why undergo the effort to set up yet another
service?".
I want to point out that we *are* an operator -- but we have a different
customer structure than large-scale DSL or cable operators, where a
centralized DHCP is well-established in IPv4 land.
Everbody's network varies, and we take some offense at attempts from
folks to stuff DHCP down our throats.
