I don't think it's done wrong deliberately. I guess there just haven't been 
enough people with IPv6 knowledge studying the IPv6 source, yet :-)

That's correct, too. Currently we only have DHCP and manual config (which 
aren't active at the same time). When implementing more sources, dns.c will 
need to be adopted, too. However, currently we don't have more sources, so up 
to now, I think we're ok.

You're right that 2.0 shouldn't include "fixes" to these issues, but 1) should 
be fixed in the near future. 2) needs fixing when someone bothers to program 
DHCPv6. You're welcome to add patches to savannah for these issues :-)

I think Dirk just fixed that.
