Actually, the "issues" were pretty much bogus, and I was quite puzzle
why the document was dropped -- or, more specifically, puzzled about the
rationale with which it was dropped.

This is the email I posted at the time, with no answer from the involved
parties (curiously enough):
<https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/dhcwg/pMkq7ZS98PsQMIKUSUuUYAFILHw/?qid=ed14f1339d38f1b77e3de8f5f763acae>

Ironically enough, the individual was was louder about dropping this
document is the same one that decided not to support DHCPv6 in Android.

"Funny" world we live in.... :-)
