  | So I think the right answer to this question is to simply decouple
  | the IPv4LL and DHCP state machines.

This is really irrelevant to the issue raised.   What was really being
requested, once all the wrapping is removed, was that this WG make a
change to the DHCP protocol (or perhaps more precisely, to the operational
requirements for DHCP) - that is to force DHCP clients to try harder to
get routable addresses (lower the delay as much as possible if there is
no immediate answer).

The relationship with LL addresses is purely coincidental to this.

That's why this really belongs in the DHCP working group (where apparently,
and I guess you already know, something has been proposed already), and
not here at all.
