+1. This is what I was trying to get earlier (but apparently just dropping IoT did not describe it fully due to potentially managed IoT networks too; I am too stuck in my home IoT rut I guess).

I would personally rather drop prefix management. At least, the current proposed solution is DHCPv6 PD plus lot of marketing plus one extra thing (role) minus tons of existing functionality. I would rather stick the role into PD, than reinvent the protocol.

If there is not something more novel there (that is, not hierarchical PD in disguise), I do not see the point.

I think it is mostly fine, although the use of term ‘autonomous’ for essentially (on high level) managed devices that perform some low-level autonomic functions sounds still strange to me. I guess I could live with it though.
