My point is very simple: you can’t say “IPv6 is simpler because there’s no DHCP” if there’s DHCP. It’s pretty obvious right?

One being that at the typical end-user site you have neither v6 NAT nor v6 DHCP. Another being that you have enough address space (and we have collectively learned from the IPv4 allocation lessons how bad things can get) to have a good chance of setting things up so that routers need not do quite so much work to route v6 packets.
