"IPv4LL" is as "gnomeish" as "DHCP" is. There are RFCs named
after both of the terms.

So, if you don't want to see "IPv4LL", then what would you suggest as
a replacement for the string "DHCP"?

Quite frankly, if you are configuring your network in such a
professional way that you actually might play with these options you
should be grown up enough to deal with the real terms and actually
also *want* to deal with them.
