The patch (or its concept) could be a good thing. REBIND should probably 
be able to do this. I would express concern using dhclient, 
Network-Manager, or any implementation as standards references. Just for 
one example, dhclient seems to have an unresolved issue (for a while 
now) with handling the fqdn.fqdn option. Downstream Network-Manager and 
Debian solve this by just squashing the option all together. End result, 
host name does not end up in DHCPv6 leases.
