I still didn't get a pointer to which presentation you are referring to.
Nevertheless, see below...

Saying that would be rushing the DSLF to a particular decision.

Note that, there is no PANA representation in DSLF. What's been done so far
does not go beyond few informational presentations by the visitors (once I
gave one). On the other hand, the owner of DHCP solution has a very strong
presence in the DSLF.  

So it is no surprise that one solution went neglected when the other one
received the whole positive attention. Misunderstandings about PANA that we
found out during these latest (online and offline) IETF discussions are a
good proof of that. And so are the problems we found about the DHCP-based
solution.

I don't know how DSLF progressed from "requirements stage" (previous contact
with IETF) to "serious interest in one solution stage".
