Particularly since we've gone down that road before, and we know where
it leads... I'm tempted to throw in a comment here about "my way or
the highway" but that would be rude. But really, we have thought
about this, and we decided as a group not to do it. On a practical
level, your choices are either to define a new site-local option, or
to use stateless DHCPv6. Stateless DHCPv6 works pretty well - I'm
not sure why you're resisting using it.
