[...] I see no point in repeating the arguments for why autoconfiguration is not good enough - this has been beaten to death, repeatedly, on lots of IPv6 lists.
It's not like "there can be only one". If autoconf is good enough for your purposes, that's great! If not, there's DHCP. That's great too! Or use autoconf AND stateless DHCP - that's great too! Heck, some of us will be using static addressing in a lot of places and that's great too. Most of us will be using all four methods. Understanding the advantages and limitations of each method and combo is important, but just because something has a limitation doesn't make it completely useless for everybody.
