Just checking: what do you mean by "not going to improve it"?  We
(KAME) are actually seriously maintaining the implementation,
including bug fixes and supporting new features.  In fact, we've
recently implemented the brand-new lifetime option, and have just
newly supported the authentication mechanism.

Perhaps you simply meant we do not have a plan to implement address
allocation by DHCPv6.  In that sense you're correct, though I'd not
say "not going to improve it" meaning luck of a plan for one part of
the big specification (even if the part is a major goal of the
specification).

Of course, I admit our implementation is "incomplete" in that it does
not support address allocation.
