My concern is for DHC WG, too.

Taking a more specific example, "Distributing Address Selection Policy using DHCPv6", draft-ietf-6man-addr-select-opt. For now, this draft only propagates generic address selection policy. It is little controversy to be DHCPv6 configuration, in my eyes.

However, it is very likely this would develop further in the future, to become "if you want to connect to Service/Application X, choose source address A". For that, I am not sure it falls into network connectivities or user services.
