Probably. After all, OS X now supports DHCPv6 which it did not for
many years, so even unbelievers may eventually be converted. (Although
I suspect it was more like "okay we will hold our noses and implement
it even though we think it stinks"). ;)

I just discovered the bug report about DHCPv6 on Android, which is
interesting reading for a Friday afternoon. :)
