Well, I guess I shouldn't be astonished. I've even seen vendors implement 
the DHCPv6-PD server on the router itself, and fail to install route 
according to the delegated prefix.

So basically, regarding how to actually implement PD in a network (from an 
IETF point of view), everybody just gave up, declared the problem 
unsolvable, and went back to sleep?
