1. draft-ietf-v6ops-unique-ipv6-prefix-per-host says nothing one way or
another about networks that *only* use DHCPv6 address assignment, so RFC
7934 is not relevant in this case, even by your own arguments.

2. 7934 does not state that networks that *only* use DHCPv6 address
assignment are not recommended.  There was no WG consensus for your
interpretation, and your interpretation is in direct conflict with the
reality that DHCPv6 can be used to provide multiple IP addresses to a
host, as 7934 recommends, and as was proven with working examples during
that thread and others.  Either way, this is outside the scope of
draft-ietf-v6ops-unique-ipv6-prefix-per-host and it's not helpful to
have another rehash of this argument here.

3. you are now arguing that an option to implement
draft-ietf-v6ops-unique-ipv6-prefix-per-host with DHCPv6 shouldn't be
considered because of rfc7934.  In other words, you're arguing that we
shouldn't introduce the option for hosts to be able to get multiple ipv6
addresses via dhcpv6, because according to you, rfc7934 recommends
against using dhcpv6-only because it lacks the ability to provide
multiple ipv6 addresses for hosts.  I.e. circular reasoning.

These arguments are untenable.  In fact, they're completely ridiculous.
