1. You have been able to assign DNS through SLAAC for years 2. Stateless DHCPv6 serves most needs not covered by SLAAC 3. Yeah, some ISPs screw up and don’t assign enough address space. Most likely because they’re still in the address-poverty mindset of v4

> your networks isn't so simple that you can just auto-negotiate some address

I don’t understand what you mean by this…v6 afaik has every tool that v4 does for assignment. If automated assignment through SLAAC or either kind of DHCP doesn’t meet your needs, then there’s manual assignment, just like with v4.
