Liaison statements (according to BCP103) from IEEE could resolve
the problem for IETF not admitting DHCP perform full configuration
without RA.

Or, IPv6 won't be efficiently supported by 11ai, which might help
IPv6 fundamentalists recognize the reality that SLAAC, which is
full of states in the worst way to have them distributed, is rather
harmful than useless.
