I think that such an option highjacking won't happen with DHCPv6 again: Since we've got a "parameter option" in our draft already which can be used to pass such configuration data to the bootloader/kernel, there is no moreneed that they abuse extra DHCP options for this.
Okay. The draft doesn't really say that. I think it would be worth saying that specifically, so that people realize that that is one valid use for these options. Otherwise we may find that people think these serve some other purpose--it certainly didn't occur to me that this was what bootfile parameters were for, although now that you mention it I see no reason why they wouldn't work for this.
So, assuming you make that clear in the draft, would you consider a draft that had just one bootfile-url option, and just one bootfile- parameters option to be useful?
