Re: [dhcwg] DHCPv6 message type

Bernie,

I guess it depends on the use case for such a message type.

Bud, maybe you can give us some examples of the kind of thing you want  
to do?

My thinking is, there are probably uses for a vendor message type, but  
we should also look to see if there is missing functionality that  
would be independently invented by different vendors.
