There is nothing inherently more or less "central capable" in DHCP than
in RA.
Without DHCP relay, DHCP isn't very much "centralized" (and it's easily
imaginable that folks run per-subnet DHCP servers, handing out different
information) - and a central management solution could easily make RA
"central capable", given router vendor support.
Just because *some* current IPv4 deployments favour DHCP doesn't mean that
it's the right approach for *all* future IPv6 deployments.
