Yes. Including running code, to my understanding**. HNCP (RFC7788) does prefix
allocation and assumes DHCPv6-PD for prefix distribution. (We also support
DHCPv6-PD in draft-ietf-anima-prefix-management, but that is ongoing work.)

For homenets that need subnets, of course. I'm not panicking, however: when it's ready,
it will be used. There's no flag day.
