Many people, myself included, feel DHCPv6 is a silly idea and should go away. IPv6 was designed to not need it, and continuing to use DHCP is just inertia and a desire to keep doing things in the same old way. As I recall originally everyone was supposed to use well-known addresses like ::1, 2, 3 on the current network or multicast DNS. But nooo. Was that too hard? DHCP or nothing! And then DNS was added to SLAAC. The rest of DHCP was always useless. Once you have DNS, it can be used for all other service discovery.
