Which documentation are you referring to? |

dhcpv6 has no stable keywords |

True. I was to request stabilization as well. |

I can keep this package in the tree long enough until there is an |
| 57 |
alternative documentation available. My point is not to frustrate users |
| 58 |
but to "force" them migrate to better alternatives. Moreover, remember |
| 59 |
that the dhcpv6 upstream is dead and dhcp[ipv6] is the official |
| 60 |
alternative. I don't quite see the point in supporting dhcpv6 anymore. |
