One point of clarification that I found useful but was not universally applauded was the notion that if the protocol is or was in the Internet area, it's probably something you can configure with DHCP; if it's not, think carefully before using DHCP to configure it.

This lets out a _lot_ of stuff that has options in DHCPv4.   But I can't think of anything it excludes that I'd want to keep around.   Of course, Mobile IPv6 is an Internet area protocol, and it's not entirely clear to me that it's configurable via DHCP, although there exist DHCP options to configure it.
