No, the decision was to not blindly import all the excess crap from IPv4. If anyone has a reason to have a DHCPv6 option, all they need to do is specify it. The fact that the *nog community stopped participating in the IETF has resulted in the situation where functionality is missing, because nobody
stood up and did the work to make it happen.

The last time I "participated" a working group chair told me
"operators don't know what they are talking about" and went on to
say they should be ignored.

This is a problem to be fixed. If you like we can discuss the details of how to fix it in San Francisco next month.
