My original comment and complaint, though, was in response to the assertion that DHCPv6 is as robust as DHCPv4. My point is that DHCPv6 does not fill the role that DHCPv4 fills, if you care about tying an IP to a MAC and you want that connection to persist across OS installs by customers.
You're right. DHCPv6 is more robust than DHCPv4. At least those of us in the enterprise space appreciate a client identifier that doesn't change when the hardware changes. And v6 doesn't work the same as v4 so you will expend more effort trying to force it to fit a v4 model. Scott
