No, the decision was to not blindly import all the excess crap from IPv4. If anyone has a reason to have a DHCPv6 option, all they need to do is specify it. The fact that the *nog community stopped participating in the IETF has resulted in the situation where functionality is missing, because nobody stood up and did the work to make it happen.
Please explain where you think "*nog" community is today representative at all of the wider scale IPv6 deployment issues across the world?
I'm assuming IETF and ARIN/RIPE/APNIC/etc are busy talking to end-users rather than just ISPs about the issues facing IPv6 adoption. Am I mistaken or not?
The end-users who come too three meetings a year and pay $635 to attend are a small and self-selecting bunch (there are some I would note)... The IETF is not in the business of product development of the sort that end-users would normally relate to. The RIRs have there respective stakeholders, some are end-users most are not.
