You might think that would be obvious, but exactly zero (0) commercial
available CPEs has implemented it like that.

THAT means that if you expect the community to do it like this, you do in
fact need to write it in a RFC.

Or you could write it as you think it is needed.


The homenet working group just published a RFC with a different solution.
The size hint is garbage today because every client will put garbage in it
and most servers will ignore it (including isc-dhcp IIRC). And likely it
will stay that way forever. The homenet solution is different, but it
reduces the need for a size hint.
