Subject: [dhcwg] Abuse of the Preference option

Has there been any discussion of possible abuses of the preference option 
described in RFC 3315?

If a client is *required* to ignore other advertisements when a particular 
advertisement has preference 255, doesn't this undermine a DHCP client's 
ability to possibly make a more informed decision about which advertisement 
to go with? Shouldn't the "preference" option be just that, a preference?
