I've been using IPv6 for more than 10 years already and I still disagree
with your assertion.

How is this relevant to what I want to be able to do ?

I have a shared LAN with more than one router.
Some devices need to talk to router1, some to router2. Some do not need to
have router information at all (printers). How can I do that today without
tediously configuring the hosts with static information ?

And I'm not even talking about booting them; I'm afraid PXE is still IPv4
only and will be for a long time...
