Just our of curiosity, i thought V6 address were big enough so you don't need dhcp at all, and one less service is one less thing to go wrong?
we are passing some parameters via dhcp, so those are still needed.

@nixinator Yes @davidelang is correct. Ultimately we will be moving to passing the v4 options via v6.
IIRC @owendelong had some other use cases for this as well
Yes... Sometimes you want a particular host to consistently get the same address. While EUI-64 sort of allows this, it's no longer default on the vast majority of systems. Using DHCP6 reservations provides a consistent way to manage these addresses.
Description
Relates to: https://github.com/socallinuxexpo/scale-network/issues/392
Kea config is currently only v4. Need to add our v6 version of the config.
