Look, can we stop arguing about whether someone needs DHCP or not, whether they need SLAAC or not. Let's just get both solutions to a mature and useful state where a network administrator can pick the one that works best for their environment and move on.
Speaking as an OS implementor, no, please don't do that. :) Let SLAAC be what it is, and give DHCPv6 feature parity with DHCPv4. Having all options supported in both methods is N-squared complexity for OS developers, never mind how difficult it's going to make actually using the stuff.
