Heh, there's a reason I said "variety" ;). Honestly, I'm like 90% systems
and 10% network, our network guys could probably better explain all of
the underlying thought process. My primary task on the deployment is
standing up the DHCPv6 servers and IPv6-enabling our operating systems
and applications. If you look at comment #101 on the issue thread,
that's actually from one of of network admins briefly discussing some of
the underlying rationale.
