Testcases for no-DHCP and IPv6

Hi,
In testing Fedora from my experience, the idea emerges, that most
development and testing is done in a network environment with an IPv4
DHCP server running.
Testing in a network environment without DHCP and/or IPv6 only makes
bugs come up, that are not found so easily when testing in the current
testmatrix.
Wouldn't it be a good idea to setup testcases that address DHCP-less
network environment and IPv6-only network environment.
DHCP-less network might be considered non-evident. But as Fedora can be
used as DHCP-server, installing a Fedora DHCP-server, by definition I
would say, is a case where a sysadmin is confronted with this situation.
IPv6 on the other end is the technology of the future. And as Fedora
positions itself as 'cutting edge technology', I would consider the need
for IPv6 testcases evident.
Koos.
