This is not true. The plan is to use a VSIO option advertised by
compatible DHCPv6 servers, which the client can apply to the
allocated address. In its absence, the client will use a /128 prefix
for the address, so that it will rely upon the RA-advertised covering
prefix.
The original plan was to advertise an IETF-standardized prefix option
in-band with DHCPv6.
But if people are already having problems with non-64 prefix lengths,
then we cannot wait for that.
