> The only thing I don't like about it, is how they created SLAAC (a way for a client to auto-configure its own IP address without DHCP) - but didn't enable routers to provide DNS information.

That complexity is also part of why the Linux kernel's built-in support for IP autoconfig at boot time for network-based root filesystems (without using a userspace DHCP client) only supports IPv4.
