There hasn't been a lot of talk in the roadmap discussion about the implementation of IPv6 DHCP-PD support on the XG platform. Can we expect to see that at some point in the near future?

There is a major difference between DHCPv6 used for addressing an interface and DHCP-PD. DHCP-PD is the normal means for which PA (Provider Allocated) addressed network obtains its prefix. As in a network that does not have its own IP space.
Comcast uses DHCP-PD for both its residential and business cable service to allocate IP space to the end network.
As a gateway device, you need to support acting as a PD client as well as a PD server that can use the prefix obtained as a client in sub-delegations.
