Hm.   I'm accustomed to using rtsold for SLAAC, but dhcpcd does seem to do a 
nicer job.   This model of doing everything outside the kernel, rather than 
doing it automatically in-kernel as Linux does, seems like the right move.  
I've never loved the in-kernel dhcpv4 client anyway--it seems like an 
additional attack vector, and bootstrapping with a small in-memory userland 
which is jettisoned after NFS is running seems like a perfectly cromulent 
solution to the diskless problem.
