   Not really.  The Kea API allows pools to be reconfigured dynamically.

   What would this look like, to your mind?

   Do you want Kea to incorporate a DHCPv6 client?

   Do you want the Kea documentation to include examples of how to 
integrate third-party DHCPv6 clients with Kea, to automatically create 
PD pools in Kea?  If so, do you want a generic example -- say, a script 
that takes a prefix and submits  API commands to Kea?  Or are you 
looking more for concrete examples for specific DHCPv6 clients?  Or both?

   Do you want the Internet engineering community to develop a standard 
mechanism to allow upstream-facing DHCPv6 clients to communicate PDs 
they receive to downstream-facing DHCPv6 servers?

   I can write-up an issue for you, if you like, but first I have to 
know what you want.
