Now at present, it doesn't support DHCPv6. But suppose in the next version of my favorite OS DHCPv6 is supported, and I decide I want to run it. So far so good.

I see your point, but I think a smart implementation will not have to wait for DHCPv6 timeout.
You could start working with stateless autoconf, that will get you started, and if DHCPv6 kicks in,
you will simply reconfigure dynamically. Not really different than receiving a second RA
1 or 2 seconds after the first one...
