For the same reason that we don't let the kids play with the  
powertools: giving them what they want here just makes everything end  
in tears.

If people want to run DHCPv6, fine, we're all adults. If they want to  
go to the IETF and fix what's wrong with DHCPv6, so much the better.  
But taking the information from the place where we can make sure it's  
correct and putting it in a place where we can only guess so we break  
the network regularly is A VERY BAD IDEA.
