</span>Probably. After all, OS X now supports DHCPv6 which it did not for<br>
many years, so even unbelievers may eventually be converted. (Although<br>
I suspect it was more like "okay we will hold our noses and implement<br>
it even though we think it stinks"). ;)<br>
<br>
I just discovered the bug report about DHCPv6 on Android, which is<br>
interesting reading for a Friday afternoon. :)<br>
