Well, DHCPv6-for-addresses is about as complex if you do it via a relay,
and the addresses do not come from a locally assigned pool.

DHCPv6-for-addresses is much easier indeed if you only assign for a 
directly connected multiaccess network (cable, for example...) and do not 
have to deal with "ok, assignment has been done, now what addresses need
to be stuffed into routing?"

But still, I'm not sure what the context is to make a big deal out of 
it now?
