Given that historically we have relied on DHCP for a means of NAC and host registration, like many academic institutions, the idea of sweeping changes to accommodate IPv6 was just not going to happen in the near future.
IETF has historically dropped the ball on delivering IPv4/v6 services securely, and all the development for IPv4 done outside the IETF hasn't been integrated into IPv6, which now shows when people are trying to deploy it.

There is now some working going on though, you should look into the SAVI working group, they have some nice work going on both for v4 and v6 in this space. The v6ops WG is also producing deployment models for securely deploying v6 in ISP environment.
