You really think they’re doing all of this as some elaborate “all or nothing” v6 deployment bargaining chip?

- aboardRat4 8mo agoYes. I'm not an insider, of course.
- lxgr 8mo agoI don’t think anyone is passionate enough about IPv6 for a conspiracy like that, to be honest, especially when there’s a much simpler explanation: SLAAC is both older and much more common, and Google just implemented the bare minimum.
- aboardRat4 8mo agodhcp-pd is not "bare minimum".
- lxgr 8mo agoThey implemented that many years later, and with a clearly stated use case which isn't possible using SLAAC alone, unlike regular address assignment.
- zadikian 8mo agoThat's probably why. But this is why the defaults matter so much and it's not simply "you do you."
