"I couldn't agree more. Having worked with multiple vendors testing
cross-compatibility of their IPv6 implementations, (and in particular the
standard configuration mechanisms, RS, NS/NS-DAD, DHCPv6, DHCPv6-PD), I can
certainly attest to the complexity, but I agree that the last thing anyone
would (should?) want at this point is a new link-specific configuration
mechanism -- making PPP substantially different from, say, pure Ethernet
would be a real headache. Both of these link types work just fine with the
existing protocols."
