            Bug ID: 87374
           Summary: networkd DHCPv6 really needs a hook system...
           Product: systemd
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: Other
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: general
          Assignee: systemd-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: brankob at s5tehnika.net
        QA Contact: systemd-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

this is technically maybe not a bug, but in practice it comes to the same
thing.

DHCP within networkd is untweakable. 

If you happen to have only IPv6 /64 span that you have to work with within
several sub-networks ( like fresh IPv6 user that got his /64 span from ISP and
wants to use it) there is no standard way for DHCPv6 server to send a client
his subnet ( /64 is assumed ), so one needs to send it through extensions. And
catch it on the client side with a hook script.

This functionality doesn't seem to be offered here. I don't need a bash script
to be called, but to have a convenient point where an extra C function could be
dlopened externally and called, would be very nice.
