Not sure what you mean. Our draft does specify RA and DHCPv6 versions of
the No-IPv4 option.

> This is all about the unavailability of IPv4 auto configuration on the network. It has nothing inherently to do with IPv6 except that IPv6 is the most likely alternative to IPv4 that would be used. However, that’s just a likely majority use case, not the sole use case.

Look, if IPv7 was a thing I would totally agree with you. It's not, so
what you're saying sounds like theoretical orthodoxy. We're trying to
fix real problems with moving to IPv6-only. I totally don't care about
non-IPv6 and non-IPv4 networks. And I don't see why anyone should.
