Sorry for late reply.

I also dislike the lack of DHCPv6 in MacOSX, but trying to contact an engineer is not the way to go (unless you're lucky to hit one that I actually can influence that decision at all...)

(Shane also told me that Apple are supporters of the zeroconf philosophy, so they are of a different opinion of how things should be solved.  Share: correct me if I interpreted you wrong)

I also know an engineer at Apple, and according to him, the only way of influencing decisions of what should be fixed / added etc. is to bugreport it (@ https://bugreport.apple.com). The more people that do this, the better, and more likelier that it will be implemented. 

So, spread the word... let Apple know what you think about (the lack of) DHCPv6.

I thought I sent this to this list long time ago, but it must have been in my own virtual reality...
