Operationally, this has been met from my experience. In fact, all of 
these items are handled with stateless DHCPv6 in coordination with 
SLAAC. Stateful DHCPv6 seems to be limited with some vendors, but unless 
they plan to do proxy-nd, I'm not sure they'll gain much except for end 
system compatibility.
