The thing about this is that I get the impression that there was violent agreement that DHCPv6 with PD would be Good Thing. I think that the disagreement is about single address assignments being a Bad Thing or Good Thing.
For Android, it seems that if operators implemented the ability to fetch a prefix that would be great for Android. For operators, if you do DHCPv6-PD and Android implements it... the camel's nose is under the tent...

I will use it if I please and as I please. Your (and Lorenzo's) arguments that I must not do stateful address assignment do not please me and do not engender me to implement or support your variant of the new technology. You are, of course, welcome to tell me I'm not important enough for you to care. Should you do so, don't expect more than disdain the next time you express frustration with the technology's rate of uptake.I think what Lorenzo is trying to do is to use his influence/position to forcefully prevent people from doing this, and while that may not be the most diplomatic way, I admire his courage in posting here and trying to reason with the mob.Hopefully he learned in this escapade that no one, NO ONE, has sufficient position nor influence nor, ultimately, sufficient wisdom to dictate how a technology is to be used. Having offered our respective suggestions, we can but listen as prospective users tell us what additional capabilities they require. Regards, Bill Herrin
