Like I said before, that would pollute the network with many multicasts which can seriously degrade wifi performance.
Huh? This is no worse than IPv4 where a host comes up and sends a subnet-broadcast to get DHCP.
The IPv4 host does this once and gets its lease. If there is no DHCPv6 server then DHCPv6 clients would keep broadcasting forever. Not a good thing.
