Right.

Please, everyone - this is not just an "IPv4 way of thinking".  This
is different types of networks and network users.

Just because your experience and your network don't have anything
affected by these issues with DHCPv6 / RA doesn't mean that others
don't.

IPv6 adoption is driven by exhaustion, but it's limited by glitches like this.
