> Why DHC WG cannot say no to what should not be in DHC? If that's the case, we have no points to discuss here what should or should not be configured using DHC protocol. People will keep to "borrow" DHCP for their unsuitable purposes as long as they do not have another suitable protocol.

The DHCP Directorate, when I get around to making it happen (Bernie and Tomek have already done the hard work) will in fact do reviews of this sort.   But we really can't say "don't do this" to things that don't change the DHCP protocol itself, and even then it has to be a consensus process, not a veto.   What we can say is "that's usually going to be a bad idea, and shouldn't be done except in restricted cases, because of these security risks."
