Re: Android (lack of) support for DHCPv6

I have completely lost track of the technical issues on this thread. I would like DHCP-PD support for acquiring a prefix for tethering, from both cellular, and from wifi, in android. A mobile (android is also used in settop boxes and devices like that) and pretty standard platform that I could put anywhere in the home to "boost the signal" to devices elsewhere would be a goodness, much like I now use wifi range extenders, bluetooth, powerline, and one day 802.11ad. I also would not mind ahcpd, and hnetd support, and support for one or more sane routing protocols. Is the debate here conflating dhcpv6 (for getting addresses), and dhcp-pd (for obtaining prefixes?) It is certainly possible to do one without the other and vice versa. The core bits of what I don't understand about the flamage is how hard would it be for an end-user - or corporate client - to just add any of these functionalities to this, cyanogenmod, etc.
