> they aren't the baseline expectation like it is with ipv6
Why not? Are you saying your computer doesn't need to know the IP address of any dns server in order to be useful?
What do you mean when you say that SLAAC is terrible? Especially when you control all the devices on the network, you are in full control of what SLAAC manages for you. Also, SLAAC is the only way to use the IPv6 Privacy Extensions.
Of course, but they aren't the baseline expectation like it is with ipv6 since ipv6 baseline assumption is SLAAC. And SLAAC is terrible. If you control all the devices on the network, like a cloud install, you can just pretend SLAAC doesn't exist and live in a much better world.
If it's a home network then you're stuck expecting at least some usage of SLAAC. And you're better off just not supporting ipv6 at all at that point
