Well, section 4 of draft-ietf-dhc-anonymity-profile-07 says:

   The choice between the stateful and stateless scenarios depends on
   flag and prefix options published by the "Router Advertisement"
   messages of local routers, as specified in [RFC4861].  When these
   options enable stateless address configuration hosts using the
   anonymity profile SHOULD choose it over stateful address
   configuration, because stateless configuration requires fewer	
   information disclosures than stateful configuration.

That seems pretty close from what you want, at least as far as "stateful DHCPv6" is concerned.
