The first release will probably not support prefix delegation. A lot of people
are interested in it so we will probably add it shortly after.

The first release will support both stateful and stateless IPv6 address assignment.

I'm not sure exactly how Dibbler's DHCPv6 DDNS works, so I can't answer that.
We're adding support for the FQDN option, which allows the client and server to
negotiate who updates the reverse and forward DNS.

You can specify this via the "-lf" command line option. I had not considered
making the default name separate for IPv4 and IPv6, but that does make sense.
