You say hacks, others see it as relatively-speaking simple additions of more functionality. You can define any options you want for DHCPv6, write a draft and get community support. I don't see how that ("continuously evolving DHCPv6 hacks") is any better than what is happening with RAs?
The difference is that I don't have to wait for my switch/router vendor to implement RA extensions, I can just implement it myself in an open source DHCPv6 server. Software that is embedded in hardware is very hard to get changed.
