Re: [dhcwg] Call for Adoption: draft-yeh-dhc-dhcpv6-prefix-pool-opt-08

I think it should be adopted because I like the idea to avoid numerous
dynamic specific routes presumably introduced by the use of Prefix
Delegation for autoconfiguring mobile routers on a large scale.

But I also think that some of the problem of too many specific routes in
the dynamic routing protocol generated by Relay could be avoided with
help from (1) a better address planning by a human and (2) less computer
intelligence at Relay.

To me it also depends on the willingness of authors to push forward and
of group members to help find consensus.

Let's see further,
