I think we're spliting hairs... but eventually someone's going to want
to do all portions of dhcpv6 and NOT do it on a server. Perhaps
looking at this another way, someone's going to recognize that 'root
nfsmount' (or something else odd) is helpful to their cause, and not
want to do that on a dedicated DHCPv6 server, they'll get a vendor to
implement that 'feature' for them.

my point is... it's not one or the other, there will be a myraid of
cases in the middle, which is perfectly fine.
